YesAsia Editorial Description

Starring popular singers from Taiwan and Japan, Cape No. 7 took the grand prize at the 2008 Taipei Film Festival with its heartwarming tale of music and longing. After running dry in Taipei, failed singer Aga (Van) returns to his picturesque coastal hometown of Hengchun and joins a band thrown together by Japanese concert promoter Tomoko (Tanaka Chie). With members ranging from age 10 to 80, there's more bumbling than rocking for this ragtag bunch, but a new love song awaits when Aga and Tomoko find 7 undelivered letters written 60 years ago.

As entertaining and enjoyable as moviemaking gets, Cape No. 7 is Taiwan's reigning local box office champ, and is gaining much attention from neighboring Asian territories. First-time director Wei Te Sheng delivers an undeniable crowd pleaser, chockfull of humor, romance, nostalgia, and wonderfully quirky characters. Cape No. 7 was nominated for seven awards at the 45th Golden Horse Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Featuring appearances by Taiwanese singers Shino Lin and Rachel Liang and Japanese singer Atari Kosuke, in a special dual role.

This edition of Cape No. 7 comes with 2 DVDs containing the feature film, a "making of" featurette, audio commentary, and deleted scenes. Also included are a replica of the film's famous love letters, a stationery set, a sheet of commemorative postage stamps, a replica Cape No. 7 metal address plate, a postcard, and a poster.

Product Information

　　六十多年前，台灣光復，日本人撤離。一名日籍男老師隻身搭上了離開台灣的船隻，也離開了他在台灣的戀人：友子。無法當面說出對友子的感情，因此，他把懷念與愛戀化成字句，寫在一張張的信紙上。

　　六十多年後，台灣的樣貌早已完全改變，各個角落的人為生活而努力，幾個活在不同角落的小人物各自懷抱音樂夢想：失意樂團主唱阿嘉、只會彈月琴的老郵差茂伯、在修車行幹活的水娃、唱詩班鋼琴伴奏大大、小米酒推銷商馬拉桑以及交通警察勞馬父子，幾個不相干的人，竟然要為了度假中心演唱會而組成樂團並表演，這點讓日本來的活動公關友子大為不爽，對這份工作失望透頂，每天頂著臭臉的友子也讓阿嘉更加不高興，整個樂團還沒開始練習就已經分崩離析……

Atmospheric seaside saga Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
We typically see the basic premise of "Cape No. 7" in sports movies -- a scrappy group of misfits is thrown together, works out their differences, and seeks to succeed in their endeavor against all odds. However, in this instance, the misfits aren't athletes and the endeavor isn't a sporting events. Here's the set-up: A resort hotel in Hengchun that is owned by outsiders plans to promote itself by holding a concert featuring a famous Japanese singer. However, before granting approval for the event, the gruff head of the city council demands that the hotel feature a warm-up band of local musicians. No such band exists, so an audition is held to find a suitable group of musicians ... and we assemble our band of misfits.

Van Fan plays Aga, a singer and guitarist who has returned to Hengchun after failing to make it big in Taipei. Now he works as the world's worst mailman and sports a unceasing scowl and a very surly attitude. Tanaka Chie is featured as the terminally frazzled Tomoko, hired to coordinate this big concert event. Aga becomes the leader of the band of misfits, but his sour attitude and irresponsible behavior threaten to create a concert disaster and cause Tomoko to flee. Can the misfits pull it together? Can Tomoko overcome her depression and inspire Aga to soar on stage?

Woven throughout the film are readings from love letters from a World War II Japanese serviceman to the woman he was forced to leave behind. While those readings set a deeply romantic tone, they are not very well integrated into the film's story. Moreover, the film seeks to have as its climax a question of whether Aga and Tomoko will come together in love, but the script fails to lay a foundation for that relationship, so the climax feels unearned.

Fortunately, the film is wonderfully atmospheric, redolent of the atmosphere of a small seaside town, and loaded with fascinating minor characters. Van Fan provides a magnetic screen presence, managing to breath interest into his sullen character. In the end, despite its flaws, "Cape No. 7" provides a rewarding experienced capped by a triumphant concert and a sweetly emotional ending.
