Item Description

有人說,侯孝賢十年磨一刀練就了《聶隱娘》,但這一刀其實已磨了三十多年。1980年代的台灣,自由思潮正盛,侯孝賢、小野、吳念真、楊德昌、詹宏志等人發動新電影運動,自此近代華語電影史寫下了最重要的一頁。三十年過去了,但影響所及的漣漪卻在時代的波瀾中,擴散到全世界。多位世界級影人、藝術家,包括湯尼雷恩、是枝裕和、黑澤清、艾未未、賈樟柯、劉小東、阿彼察邦韋拉斯花古、奧利華阿薩耶斯等,在這部紀錄片中暢言台灣新電影對他們的影響與啓發,從影像的本質、社會文化的反省到個人生命的記憶,讓大家重新檢視台灣新電影運動的價值與意義,也喚回了所有關於新電影的美好記憶。本片在威尼斯影展「威尼斯經典」單元全球首映,並角逐最佳紀錄片獎。

Taiwan New Cinema not only inaugurated modern cinema in the Chinese world, it also secured itself a firm place on the world map of contemporary filmmaking. Flowers of Taipei is about the harbingers of this miracle: Edward Yang, Hou Hsiao Hsien and their peers; it’s about their vision, talent and the impact they made on contemporary cinema......
