Directed by Hsiao-Hsien Hou
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
Bored teens in a remote seaside town in Taiwan spend their time fighting, shooting pool and, mostly, chasing girls. They eventually move to the big city of Kaohsiung. Through one of the boys' sister, they get an apartment and jobs in a factory. They all fall in love with a girl who lives next door who is mistreated by her gangster boyfriend. She befriends the quiet and introspective Ah-Ching, but his hopes for romance are thwarted when she moves away. Slight, episodic, early work from director Hsiao-Hsien Hou lacks focus, but works as a nostalgia piece for the early 80s, even in Taiwan.
