⭐️"Childhood Sweethearts"⭐️
Director: Edward Yang
This film continues Edward Yang's creative theme: the analysis of urban diseases and the questioning of the alienation of modern interpersonal relationships. The film accurately captures the ups and downs of daily urban life, tracking the wandering crowds in the maze-like streets and neon-lit modern buildings, exploring the fluctuations of modern people's inner emotions, and ultimately points out the symptoms that Taiwan's rapidly developing economy in the 1980s could not drive the weak mental state of urban people. As one of the representative works of the Taiwanese New Wave, the film not only received investment from Hou Hsiao-hsien, who was both the screenwriter and the male lead, by mortgaging his property, but was also one of the most controversial works of director Edward Yang.
