1h 33m
Directed by Patrick Tam • 1982 • Hong Kong
Starring Leslie Cheung, Pat Ha, Kent Tong
An audacious blast of pop subversion, this touchstone of the Hong Kong New Wave by director Patrick Tam begins as a blissed-out portrait of carefree youth—and continually spins off into ever more shocking realms. In his breakthrough role, golden boy Leslie Cheung stars as one of a quartet of beautiful drifters who spend their days staving off ennui through the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure, until a figure from the past reappears to shatter their idyll. Merging genre-cinema gloss with jolts of avant-garde disruption, Tam arrives at a sublimely destabilizing vision of youthful abandon giving way to harrowing reality.
