阿隆曾是風光一時的少棒隊員,如今艱苦經營生意欠佳的老式布行。青梅竹馬的情人阿貞任職建築公司,躋身白領階層。兩人身處不同世界,感情漸冷,價值觀分歧,即使想着移民美國結婚,但結婚和美國都不是萬靈丹。楊德昌延續《海灘的一天》的現代感性與銳利觀察,在經濟起飛但躁動不安的台北,透過急速變遷的城市空間,由百葉窗到玻璃幕牆,反映人際關係的疏離變異。英文片名就叫「台北故事」,對社會剖析別具批判與洞悉力。侯孝賢抵押房子投資拍攝,更粉墨登場,入圍金馬獎最佳男主角。獲羅迦諾電影節國際影評人聯盟獎。是次放映最新數碼修復版。

 

Taipei Story

1985     Mandarin     119min

Cast: Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Tsai Chin, Ko I-Cheng, Wu Nien-Jen

The second installment of Yang’s so-called “Urban Trilogy”, Taipei Story spirals out from the slow dissolution of a romantic relationship between property developer Shu-Chen (Tsai Chin) and businessman Lon (fellow New Wave director Hou Hsiao-Hsien). Lon clings to his nostalgic past, while girlfriend Shu-Chen considers emigrating to the US to start anew. The contrast of past and future is parallel to the development of Taipei itself, as Yang fuses the drama of a city and one couple. Newly restored version.
