About Taiwan Canasta
A frustrated and unemployed architect experiences flashbacks of his youth and 1968 protests while the life passes by. Unable to adapt and to accept the reality, he’s constantly getting into conflicts with the people around him.
Directed by Goran Marković, Taiwan Canasta leans on a strong ensemble — Boris Komnenić, Ivona Marinkov, Gordana Gadžić — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
