Celluloid Sunday: THE TERRORIZERS (恐怖分子) 35mm d. Edward Yang, 1986 at ICA (23 JUL 18:30).

“Whilst perhaps best known for later works like A Brighter Summer Day and Yi Yi, the films Edward Yang made in the 1980s were no less earth shattering. Imbued with a languid and troubling sense of unease, Yang’s third feature The Terrorizers centres the mysterious connections that draw together a largely disparate group of individuals in contemporary Taipei.”

“Filled with ellipses and punctuated by moments of violence, Yang himself referred to the film as a ‘puzzle’ and it is a testament to the endless qualities of the film that nearly forty years on it has lost none of its ability to intrigue and captivate. The film is screening on a 35mm print from the ICA Archive.” (ICA)
