Venice becomes Chinese

Five Chinese-language films are set to unspool at the 59th Venice Film Festival, and two hail from Taiwan

By Yu Sen-lun  /  STAFF REPORTER

Another Taiwanese entry, Cheng Wen-tang's Somewhere Over the Dreamland is a story about two Aboriginal men having different adventures in urban Taipei. One has mysterious dreams about his lost wallet and rice field. The other, a worker at a Japanese restaurant, always kills time at phone sex games, meets with a bizarre girl who tells him about a dream involving a rice field.

Cheng began movie-making in 1996. The film is his second feature film.
