The Yellow Handkerchief

Just as the relationships at the core of this drama, The Yellow Handkerchief is one big compromise. Make do with the lackluster parts and receive something uniquely pleasant.

This is basically brooding people doing awkward things in a humid environment.

When The Yellow Handkerchief finally hooks into the meat of Hamill's source story, the narrative tension puts enough wind in the film's sails to arrive at its corny but sentimentally satisfying conclusion.

The start of Yellow Handkerchief is promising, but the film declines the closer it gets to the inevitable finally. [Full review in Spanish]
