Directed by Tsai Ming-LiangMy rating: 3 stars out of 4

(DVD, Wellspring)
Depressing if insightful story of alienated youth living in the urban jungle of Taipei. They spend most of their time playing video games in arcades or riding around town on their motor scooters. They occasionally hook up for sex in grungy, run down hotels. The story focuses on two teenage boys, one living at home and going to school and the other living aimlessly in an apartment prone to flooding. One starts a relationship with a girl at the local rollerskating rink, and the other one secretly follows them around for no apparent reason. Their empty lives reflect the urban landscape of flashing neon, the dehumanizing impact of overcrowding and endless rain.
