Goodbye South, Goodbye
“Fast times, easy money, big trouble.”
CrimeDrama
In this portrait of small-time hoods rendered in rhythm-of-life anecdotal detail, Gao is the leader of a circle of layabouts including his sidekick, Flathead, and their girlfriends, Pretzel and Ling. He is also the originator of petty crime schemes, which promise to get the gang nowhere fast.
VIBE
A hazy, aimless drift through Taipei's underbelly. It feels like watching old friends make bad choices, a melancholic portrait of lives going nowhere fast, steeped in the quiet desperation of urban ennui.
