Spring Cactus (1999) Drama of a young woman's dismal life of drugs, jail and prostitution in Taipei Taiwan, based on the real life of a real woman who died of heart failure at age 28. I would not have found this as interesting if it had been an American movie - in fact I wouldn't have watched it at all. I liked seeing the daily life, environment and circumstances in Taiwan, night clubs, karaoke hells, vomiting in fancy bathrooms, etc., not so much the actual story. Good acting and overall good production. 5/10
