Tales of Taipei

2023

★★★ Watched

這部片的技術陣容確實不錯,值得拍拍手 。但劇情的水準就有點像夜市的彈珠台——時好時壞,靠運氣。有點可惜,因為台北的夜晚本來就超有戲,氣氛十足、角色滿街跑,要是能把這些夜裡的故事串在一起,應該可以拍得又潮又迷人。

比如說,每段故事的角色都曾經走進同一家通宵營業的便利商店——可能只是進去買罐啤酒或買包菸——也就是那張樂透教訓發生的地方。這樣的巧合就夠形成一種微妙的連結了,不需要真的碰頭。更不用安排什麼靈異插曲,因為深夜裡那些自然發生的人與人的交會,本身就已經夠引人入勝了。

Looks like Sean Baker ignored the spellcheck suggestion when he typed “Ani” instead of “Ivan” on the title page of the screenplay.

★★★½ Watched

“I love photographing women. I’m fascinated by the way they move. I love to follow them. I love to make the audience get involved in their dilemmas.”

These dilemmas include getting stalked, knifed in the throat, strangled in a public bathroom stall, murdered in the shower, or impaled on a spinning electric drill bit long enough to emerge through the ceiling of the room below dripping with blood, to name just a few scenes from his body of work.
