A Summer at Grandpa's sounds like an idyllic childhood romp through the flowers. And while there are moments of childhood glee, this is a Hou Hsiao Hsien film and there's always a deeper narrative camouflaged under the sunny surface.

Tung Tung (11) and Ting Ting (4) were sent to their maternal grandfather's rural house for the summer while their mother lay ill in a Taipei hospital. Far from a cuddly grandpa, this grandpa was the village's doctor and rarely interacted with the children. Tung Tung made friends quickly with the local boys. In the days before cell phones, dvds, cable, and video games they did what most kids did, went outside and played. They skinny dipped in the local creek splashing and playing. Again, Hou never leaves any scene too shiny, and the boys had to exit the creek when cow dung floated into their play space.

Ting Ting suffered the fate of many a little sister and was left out of the boys' games. She spent most of the time with her stuffed animal or plastic fan, ultimately befriending the local mentally ill woman.

As Tung Tung hung out with his friends or lounged bored at his grandpa's house, he began to see behind the world of the adults around him. His childhood became breached by reality and the signaling approach of growing up. Even in the pastoral town, rape, an aggravated assault and robbery, a shot gun wedding, and family discord took place. Tung Tung went from casual observer to participant in the adult world around him as the movie rolled on. He also discovered that adults were capable of childish, petulant behavior. Adulthood, it would seem, is an ongoing process.

This film is a slow slice of life story shown through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy as those eyes begin to open to what is happening outside of himself. A Summer at Grandpa's bids Tung Tung and the audience to become more observant of the small details and meaning in the world around us.

(Trigger warning---if you are sensitive to animals being harassed or dying you might want to skip this movie or fast forward through a couple of scenes.)

Made Me Nostalgic About My Own Childhood

Just as the headline says, this movie made me nostalgic about my own childhood. I was reminded of my own adventures and misadventures when young while watching this. I, too, did many of the same things, especially during summers at my grandparents' mountain house. I guess all kids are similar! Haha!

Keeping it brief this time, I rate this 10/10. So cute, funny and nostalgic. You will laugh out loud and remember when you were little and did the same things! It doesn't matter that it was made in 1984. Trust me. Besides some of the kids' fashion and cars, you really don't notice at all. The movie itself felt timeless. I highly, highly reccommend!
