Introducing

The Terrorizers, released in 1986, is an excellent introduction to the cinema of Edward Yang. This ensemble film follows several interconnected characters, weaving together criminal, political, and romantic storylines while blurring the line between fiction and reality, particularly through the intertwined stories of a photographer and a frustrated novelist, who serve as the filmmaker’s alter egos.

Edward Yang’s body of work deserves to be rediscovered, as it is one of the most important—and ambitious—in modern Asian cinema.

Les Inrockuptibles

Synopsis

In Taipei, three couples interact unintentionally. A photographer and his girlfriend; a delinquent girl and her accomplice; a novelist and her husband, who works in a hospital.
