REBELS OF THE NEON GOD was released in 1992, direc

REBELS OF THE NEON GOD was released in 1992, directed by Tsai Ming-liang, and stars Lee Kang-sheng and Chen Chao-jung. The film received positive reviews when it was released, and has aged even better, currently featuring a 100% on the review site Rotten Tomatoes, with 33 reviews.
The film has been described as a 90s, eastern Asian REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, and that film was clearly in Tsai’s mind as he created the world. Just like the 1955 American film, REBELS OF THE NEON GOD is ulta-slick, stylish, and features a story of youth and love. Tsai Ming-liang makes it even more clear beyond the themes, showcasing a cardboard cutout of James Dean in the film’s arcade, and puts Rebel directly in the title of his film.

Both of our new films streaming this week, REBELS

Both of our new films streaming this week, REBELS OF A NEON GOD (1992) and THE HOLE (1998) were directed by acclaimed Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang! Tsai has released 10 feature films and over 20 short films, documentaries, and television films in his career that has spanned four decades. He has been honored with many awards and honors, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1994 and Best Director twice at the Golden Horse Awards, in 1994 and 2013.
Starting with REBELS OF A NEON GOD, Tsai Ming-liang quickly established himself as an auteur, creating films focused on loneliness and love, and often re-casts the same actors across all his films. Taiwanese actor Lee Kang-sheng plays the lead in both of our films this week, REBELS OF A NEON GOD and THE HOLE. 1992 featured Lee Kang-sheng and Tsai Ming-liang's first collaboration, and 28 years later, their latest film together, DAYS (2020), is currently playing at the New York Film Festival.
Stream both these films in our virtual cinema, at the link in our bio.

One of this week’s new streaming films is THE HOLE, directed by Tsai Ming-liang. Released in 1998, THE HOLE combines deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness, while throwing in a couple of unexpected musical numbers, making it “The most memorable fusion of song, dance and weather since Singin’ in the Rain,” (Dennis Lim,Village Voice). The film won the FIPRESCI Prize (Intl. Critics’ Prize) at Cannes and the Golden Hugo(Best Film) the Chicago Film Festival.
