Yu-ming (Joseph Chang) loved his wife. That is what makes the question so cruel: why did Yi-ting, pregnant with their child, take her own life? Documentarian Shen Ko-shang’s first narrative feature follows a grieving husband searching the past for an answer, as the marriage returns to him in fragments: the early tenderness, the first rush of romance… the pain he could not see. When Yi-ting’s disabled father moves in, Ming finds himself living with the one person closest to the darkness she carried. Moving with the patience of a mystery and the ache of a love story after death, Deep Quiet Room descends into the darkness of family secrets and silence pushed past endurance. Joseph Chang won Best Actor at the Pingyao International Film Festival for his performance; the film also won Best Film and received seven Golden Horse Award nominations.
