Period detail
Boxy late-1970s sedans, yellow taxis, a round-fronted blue-and-white bus, scooters and helmetless riders may show the early 1980s.
Film character
Fine Super 8 grain, a soft cool colour cast and motion blur on close passing riders give the shot an authentic projected-film texture.
Historical context
Dense scooter and taxi traffic around mid-rise concrete buildings reflects the everyday street life of a Taiwanese city in this period.
