What’s a TV series or movie that has perfectly resonated with you, for whatever reason?
This spring, I watched When Life Gives You Tangerines, and I honestly didn’t expect to be so fully transposed. Even though my own experience is tied to French Polynesia and the series is set in South Korea (Jeju), the depiction of island life - the good and the bad - the dream of escaping to the big city (in my case, the “Métropole”; in the series’ case, the mainland), and the struggles of adapting to that big city once you get there as an “exotic” person, all felt so familiar and well done that I cried during every episode. I’m curious - have you ever experienced something like this with a movie or series?

The Station Agent
Details?
Quiet reclusive train enthusiast played by Peter Dinklage loses his only friend. The friend leaves him a small property which he moves into to live in isolation. The isolation part proves more challenging than anticipated and despite his efforts he gradually begins making new connections with the people around him.
I'll have to give that a watch. Dinklage is always a joy to watch.
