Just as the circumstances that force Kundera′s [The Unbearable Lightness of Being]’s womanizing Czech surgeon to fell the Russian invasion reveal a passion for the flesh from a unique perspective, Fluffy Rhapsody’s Wan allows the tiny aches and pains of getting old and the fear of death to transform his daily activities of job-searching, having sex, pulling his teeth, cheating and idling. Wan is a medical school drop nearing his 30s who starts a relationship with unspeakable pain of life is represented in this film as ′fluff′ -somehow light and ephemeral. The film is also a voyage in search of the self. Wan claims, ＂I’ve tried to throw out my real self. However, I always feel thirsty and drink lots of water. Day after day, I keep swallowing my real self.＂ Each frame of this film embodies this ephemeral mood through multi-layered music, poetic dialogue and amazing images connected by over exposures, jump-cuts and dazzling fades. Fluffy Rhapsody treats the banal with a strong dose of fantasy. (Regina Ho)
