MAMU

Yi Jen Chang2025/03/25

MAMU讓我思索：生命中會一直陪伴我們到最後的事物，是我們能夠決定的嗎？又或許那其實是潛意識（靈魂）的「選擇」？發生在幼年2-10歲的突觸修剪（synaptic pruning），是生命中的第一次「遺忘」，為的是放下不再使用的經驗，騰出空間給新的事物。片中的父親經歷的是生命中的第二次遺忘，我感覺意義或許更是在「保存」：將生命終章最後的精神與氣力，保留予回應此生碰觸自己至深、最在意的問題。很美的一部片，期待導演的下一部長篇：）

Past memories are like waves, returning to us unexpectedly. “MAMU” is the wave that crashes upon Director Aephie Chen. In “MAMU,” Aephie takes a personal voyage through various times and spaces, reconnecting with her past and Taiwanese heritage. This cinematic journey serves as a bridge between her and her family and between filmmaker and audience, evoking profound emotions sincerely, all conveyed without words. 那些銘刻在心底，屬於原生家庭的印記，終將如浪濤，一次次拍打，重返，連結。《MAMU》 便是導演陳繪彌心中襲來的浪。 她不迴避退後，而是向前迎面，完成這趟溯回過去的私人尋訪。身在異地的失語者尋尋覓覓，發現是那來自原鄉的歌謠，牽起跨越時間與空間的羈絆。 這部作品不僅是她與家人的橋樑，也同時連接創作者和觀眾的情感共鳴，動人真摯，盡在不言中。

audience reviews “MAMU made me thought of my Burmese family who rarely speak their native language anymore, but when they do it’s like a new realm of their personality awakes…” - Matt Lulu @matt_lulu “Coming from and raising a very mixed family this was insightful and thought provoking. Many of my family have made ‘new’ homes here but I imagine they all think about their homeland. Interestingly I didn’t feel sad rather heart-warmed actually. MAMU was beautiful. Excited to see the feature length.” - Leona Hayden @leonahayden “The film made me feel sad and emotional. I felt the parallels with my own Ukrainian roots and homesickness, very powerful. I feel that is the message needs to be sent out. Remembering your roots, heritage, ancestors, childhood. It is something that stay with us until the end. and probably something that brings us comfort. Thank you for the movie and this experience.” - Irina #irina “I was moved deeply despite the brief runtime. I felt a nostalgia for a time, place and culture that isn’t mine. The main actor, Aki Rupi, his face was so evocative while doing so little. It lit up the big screen.” - Nils Åstrand @onenils 看電影即是期待在光影以及故事之中尋找歸屬，而Mamu以最真摯的方式講述了一個非常難過的故事，任何游離的靈魂都能在此找到共鳴。導演Aephie巧妙地在極短的篇幅內道盡了人生的異化，而Aki Rupi爐火純青又動人的表演完美詮釋了這些生命不可承受之重，這讓這個最私密的故事，超越時間、空間以及語言，延展成能讓任何人都能有情感連結的故事。生命的寂寞、溫暖、歸屬，以及一切不可言喻的，全部都在Mamu的影格與影格之間了。- 呂珮瑄 @lupei404 “MAMU was very beautiful. I felt sad but also energised. I thought the indigenous language was really cool.” - Bella Whiteway @spongebellasquarepants “So beautiful to see MAMU on a big screen- amazing work! It really comes alive with the sound and all the small design details- thank you for this honest work, so proud and excited for you! “- Thembisa Cochrane @thembisa_c “The word I would use to describe the film MAMU is “quivering” - the sound and visuals feel like they’re quivering with emotion.” - Jo Elise @_joelise #worldpremiere @sundanceorg #sundancelondon @picturehouses #uk #shortfilm #audience #review #filmmaker @joish81 Joanne Davidson
