台灣導演蔡明亮最具爭議性的異色作品,有人更將其毫無保留的超現實性愛表現藝術與日本國寶級電影《感官世界》的驚世駭俗相題並論。某個寶島的缺水年代,西瓜是拯救市民的唯一物資,不能說話的AV男女更利用它表情達意,如孤雲般的個體因著西瓜終於第一次遇見愛。當一朵雲找到了另一朵,會否化成雨水滋潤久旱的大地?柏林影展銀熊獎、艾爾裴德鮑爾獎及影評人費比西三項大獎得主。
1960s Chinese pop, romance, draught, porno, and watermelons. Garnering the Silver
Bear Award in Berlin, the film drifts through the
musically induced and vividly eccentric rekindling
of the relationship between Shiang-chyi and street
vendor, Hsiao-kang, who is now a detached adult
film star. This comical and controversial cult
classic will take you on an uneasy stroll through
intertwined themes of essential substitution, the
fundamental human need for connection, and the
displacement of the physical body in contemporary
urban life.
