Island Etude (練習曲) was Taiwan's entry to the 2007 oscars. It follows a "student" making a bike trip around the coast of Taiwan on his bike.
I've been watching a lot of action films lately and sitting down recently to watch this was such a breath of fresh air and a major change of pace. There's no movie that can cover all the great spots on the coast of Taiwan in 90 minutes but it does a good job high lighting memorable spots. The red bridge in the Hualien area was memorable because my wife and I walked across it when we there on vacation in 2004.
I highly recommend this movie if you plan on riding your bike around Taiwan or if you're interested in seeing the various different lifestyles in Taiwan.
