獨立時代

1994 國語    125 分鐘 中文字幕

演員:陳湘琪、倪淑君、王維明、鄧安寧

可能是楊德昌最被低估的野心之作,對準台北摩登時代的一眾新人類,電影拉開錯綜複雜的人際關係網絡,在經濟迅速發展、物質越加豐盈的城市,觀察他們為時兩天半的生活,透過角色的感情流動與利害關係,以萬花筒結構和精準的鏡頭調度,展現年輕一代的慾望與躊躇、貪婪與恐懼。楊德昌首次利用喜劇方式,駕馭劇場表演風格,在獨立時代思考儒者的困惑,對台灣社會提出犀利批判。金馬影后陳湘琪初次擔綱主角,已叫人眼前一亮。入圍康城角逐金棕櫚獎。

 

A Confucian Confusion

1994     Mandarin     125min

Cast: Chen Xiang-Qi, Ni Shu-Jun, Wang Wei-Ming, Danny Deng

A biting black comedy. Molly (Ni Shu-Jun), a bourgeois PR executive, has a glamorous career, a rich boyfriend, and a devoted personal assistant. But when she fires an employee for petty reasons, the tangled web connecting Molly and her whole yuppie circle becomes more complex. And a peripheral character has written a novel in which Confucius returns to modern Taipei and is praised as a brilliant charlatan: Yang’s vision of a glittering city with its values in crisis.
