Rebels of the Neon God 1994

Synopsis

In Taipei, four youths face alienation, loneliness, and moments of existential crisis amidst a series of minor crimes.

Notable Critics

"With longing gazes, antic and violent outbursts, and exquisite coincidences set amid his fetish objects-leaky pipes and bloody wounds, fast food and bathroom fixtures-Tsai depicts the city as a spontaneous, sticky, erotic ballet."

— Richard Brody

"Hsiao-Kang's bad night out is one of the things that marks Rebels as a Tsai Ming-liang film. There's never any real, safe home in his films."

— Jonathan Romney
