Terrorizers 恐怖份子

Edward Yang 楊德昌’s Terrorizers follows a group of loosely connected characters—a photographer, a novelist, a young delinquent, and a disillusioned couple—whose lives intersect through a prank call and a chain of coincidences. With calm, precise long takes and geometric compositions, Yang captures the quiet alienation of urban life and the subtle unraveling beneath its surface. Celebrated as a landmark of New Taiwan Cinema, the film explores how isolation and chance shape life in a rapidly modernising society. Its cool formalism and fragmented structure reveal Yang’s sharp insight into the social and emotional rhythms of the city.
