Despite being divided into five chapters (Sunday to Friday) that span the visit by a doctor, Pan Huafeng, and her daughter Li Yingchen to her elder brother Pan Hua-chin in Kaohsiung, it\'s actually far less episodic than PINOY SUNDAY. The latter film charted two Filipinos trying to move a red sofa through the streets of Taipei one afternoon, and was basically an allegory about the "outsider" status to the island. MY ELDER BROTHER has a much stronger emotional arc running through the movie as Hua-chin does his financial utmost to ensure his relatives have a good time but hides the fact that he\'s actually a menial worker at a hotel who has almost no money at all.
The audience is told about his secret early on, and the film becomes a low-key comedy as Hua-chin narrowly escapes being found out time and again. Directed in an unfussy but well-composed way, MY ELDER BROTHER is all the more moving for its absence of buckets of emotion and leaving more things unsaid than said, and the simple musical score supports director Ho\'s light touch.
