1982 / 96min / DCP
A key text of the Hong Kong New Wave, the sophomore feature by Tam—later to become a mentor figure to a young Wong Kar-wai, whose regular art director William Chang contributes high-style work here—is a plangent portrait of teenage malaise starring Cheung as an alienated rich kid who fills empty days languorously hanging with pals Pat Ha, Kent Tong, and Cecelia Yip, a routine rudely interrupted with the arrival of a runaway member of the Japanese Red Army seeking shelter in their midst. An utterly sumptuous immersion in various shades of idyll and ennui.
