TAXI - A Moving Life with Chinese (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region All

Screened at the 2007 CNEX Documentary Film Festival, Taxi - A Moving Life with Chinese is a dynamic story about different taxi drivers in different Chinese cities, and the world they see behind their steering wheels. Directed by Zhu Jie who turned his chance encounters into a fascinating feature, the film profiles the moving lives of a Beijing taxi driver struggling to meet ends, a Chengdu taxi driver who finds peace in his saxophone, a sixty-something aboriginal Taiwanese driver trying to make money so his children can visit him in Taipei, and Hong Kong taxi drivers who moonlight as traffic controllers. Taxi - A Moving Life with Chinese offers an insightful cross-section study of four cities, and the people who call the city streets home.

This is not the story about one person, but rather, it is a cross-section of a group and a city. The majority of them are the one sitting before the steering wheel, while their failies and dreams are moving forward with the rolling wheels.

Alleys of Beijing, this seems to be the center, but incomes of taxi driver do not match the status of this city. Chengdu, well known for its relaxing and cozy atmosphere, but for taxi driver the hardship can not be avoided. It's only through a sax-playing driver we discovered the unique sentiment impossible else where; Taipei, the Blue-Green divide can even be found between taxi driver. An indigenous driver in his sixties still wants to earn money for his children, so that they will come to see him, bringing along his grandchildren. Hong Kong, many taxi driver also volunteer to act as traffic controllers. Between controling and being controlled, what is the satisfaction for them?

The director passively met and then subjectively selected them. The story - if it can be so called - began from outside taxi windows.
