Tsai Ming-Liang’s directorial debut, *Rebels of the Neon God, * is a study in youth angst and malaise in Taipei at the turn of the millennium. Ming-Liang’s long lingering shots and watery motifs have made his work synonymous with “slow cinema.” Drifting, frustrated and stuck, his characters struggle with the ambivalences of familial intimacy, mysterious pains, contested uses of space, repression, and the challenges posed to the possibility of love and freedom by modernity. We at the From Below frankly love everything Tsai Ming-Liang touches, and Charlie is even ready to call this film his favorite of Ming-Liang’s career.
