Rewatched TERRORIZERS (1986) dir. by the brilliant #EdwardYang. Recurring themes in his films are urban alienation, existential angst, change, loss and longing. His portrait was the last stencil I did before abandoning my cans of purple spray paint. I placed the stencil randomly, but perhaps appositely, under a sticker referring to the blurring of lines between fiction and reality—a major theme in TERRORIZERS.

“Yang gracefully responded to the world’s changes across seven expansive features, each one notable for their sprawling, unconventional narrative structures, effortlessly precise compositions, and largely nonprofessional casts that expressed a heartfelt, near-omniscient understanding of life on the small island nation. “ 📽️ 🎞️ 🇹🇼 #Cinemastodon #TaiwaneseCinema #EdwardYang #TaiwaneseNewWave

My favourite #EdwardYang film is THAT DAY, ON THE BEACH (1983).
With dazzling cinematography by #ChristopherDoyle & mesmerising performances by #SylviaChang & #TerryHu.
Drawn to the familiar dilemma of Yang's protagonists who try "to determine whether it’s better to tentatively withdraw from society or to enjoy both the perils & the ecstasies of fully engaging with the world outside their front door." Slant Magazine
