The young hoodlums of Brighter Summer's Day 25 years on, and it's not a pretty sight. Contemporary Taiwan also comes in for a kicking. But for some there is, mercifully, a tiny bit of light at the end of this particular tunnel. I like Yang's work as much for its imperfections as for what he gets so right.

    It's odd that you make the A Brighter Summer Day connection... I thought of the film as a genre remake of Terrorizer. I guess that explicates how incredibly focused and detailed Yang's films are.
