THE TERRORIZERS 恐怖份子

Taiwan's Central Motion Picture Corporation (CMPC) just released a newly-remastered DVD of Edward Yang's "The Terrorizers". I re-watched it last night and was once again blown away. Experiencing Taipei (circa 1986) filtered through Edward's modern, neo-realist perspective...the cool fragmented urbanism, detached but beautiful compositions, and (seemingly) disparate storylines coming together suddenly, violently...inspires me to want to shoot Taipei all over again...
