Riding the Breeze

About This Movie

Riding the Breeze is a quirky jaunt that blends comedy with a touch of introspection. Directed by Koji Hagiuda, it follows Aiko, a 26-year-old editor, who's kind of stuck in a rut both personally and professionally. The film really captures that aimless feeling of being at a crossroads. The vibrant Taiwanese backdrop adds a nice layer to the narrative, especially as Aiko meets Tonton, an aspiring model with big dreams. Their cycling trip through Taiwan isn’t just about the sights; it’s about their evolving friendship and the small moments that help them realize what they truly want out of life. The pacing feels easygoing, mirroring the leisurely rides they take, and there’s something refreshing about the simplicity of the story. Performances are solid and grounded, making it a pleasant yet thought-provoking watch.
