Thanatos, Drunk / 酔, 生夢死
Taiwan / 2015 / 107 min.
Director: CHANG Tso-Chi
[introduction]
CHANG Tso-chi's “Thanatos, Drunk,” which won six awards including the Grand Prize in the Taipei Film Festival's competition for Taiwanese films, is an ensemble drama set mainly in the Taipei underworld, which is CHANG's specialty. Its story focuses on two brothers, Rat and Shanghe. Rat, the youngest, makes a living by selling vegetables at a market, and falls in love with a deaf-mute prostitute. Meanwhile, Shanghe returns from the U.S. after breaking up with his boyfriend and finds a job at a nightclub, where he seduces gigolo Shuo, who is also Rat's roommate. The film moves freely through time, presenting a violent and sometimes lyrical depiction of youth struggling on the fringe of society. LU Hsueh-Feng, who plays the brother's alcoholic mother, makes an indelible impression with her inimitable presence.
