YesAsia Editorial Description
From the director of Made in Hong Kong and Hollywood Hong Kong comes Public Toilet, an uncommon film about who we are, what we dream, and what we all have to do two times a day. Director Fruit Chan's seventh film is a wandering metaphorical journey that follows various protagonists from various locales (China, Korea, New York and India) as they cross the globe in search of magical cures for their terminally ill beloveds. However, despite their unifying goals, each individual finds different obstacles and trials, and each still finds themselves visiting that most unavoidable of locales: the public toilet. In Fruit Chan's satiric, darkly funny, and subtly poetic universe, people visit public toilets to live and die, and maybe even find a beautiful Korean sea creature that feeds on human waste (!).
Public Toilet was a winner at the Venice Film Festival, and a selection at various others, and features an international cast of unknowns and fan favorites, including Hong Kong's Sam Lee (Made in Hong Kong) and Korea's Jang Hyuck (Volcano High).

人生就是生活，生活的本質永遠離不開衣、食、住、行，當然還包括“拉”。我所一輩子的時間，睡佔了百分之五，吃佔了百分之二點半，那麼“拉”其實和吃是相等的。
俗語有說“你吃多少你就拉多少”這點沒錯，還蠻有道理，所以從古至今，人民無論是窮還是富，從沒停止過“吃”亦沒停止過“拉”。因此公廁成為了我們的必需品，無論何時何處，只要你有三急之需，公廁隨時都會在你的身旁，為你服務。本片以七個國家的故事出發，描寫出七個不同城市的公廁面貌，追尋生命中的喜、怒、哀、樂。
Our daily lives consist of clothing, eating, living, and moving. It also consists of defecating. Sleeping takes up about five percent of our lives, eating takes up about two and a half percent. Does defecating take up the same percentage as eating? A Chinese adage says, "We pass out as much as we ingest." From the dawn of time, people, rich or poor, have never stopped eating, and so have never stopped defecating. Public toilets are a necessity. They are for people with urgent needs to answer the call of nature. This film focuses on four different public toilets in four countries, to explore the four basic human emotions: excitement, anger, sadness and happiness.

It won an award?!
It won an award?!

I was so pleased when i saw how cheap this was, and being a really big fan of jang hyuk, i got it straight away. I was so disapointed though. It is filmed terribly, and is so boring. If it wasn't for Jang Hyuk in it (who doesnt even look so good in it) then id throw it in the bin. I just can not believe it won an award... |
