A Confucian Confusion

2h 9m
Directed by Edward Yang • 1994 • Taiwan
Starring Chen Shiang-chyi, Wang Wei-ming, Joyce Ni
Edward Yang’s first cinematic foray into comedy may have been a surprising stylistic departure, but in its richly novelistic vision of urban discontent, it is quintessential Yang. This relationship roundelay centers on a coterie of young Taipei professionals whose paths converge at an entertainment company where the boundaries between art and commerce, love and business, have become hopelessly blurred. Evoking the chaos of a city infiltrated by Western chains, logos, and attitudes, A CONFUCIAN CONFUSION is an incisive reflection on the role of traditional values in a materialistic, amoral society.
