Rebels of the Neon God
One of Taiwan’s modern masters, Tsai Ming-liang, debuted with this gritty tale of teens negotiating the haunting spaces, physical and psychological, of modern city life.
Heralding the arrival of Taiwan’s great poet of urban alienation, Tsai Ming-liang’s debut drifts through the familiar haunts of a group of dejected Taipei teens: malls, video game arcades, the oppressive spaces of their own apartments.
