About this movie

Hsiao-kang, a despondent cram school student becomes obsessed with young petty thief Ah-tze, after Ah-tze smashes the rearview mirror of a taxi driven by Hsiao-kang's father. Hsiao-kang stalks Ah-tze and his buddy Ah-ping as they hang out in the film?s iconic arcade and other locales around Taipei, and ultimately takes his revenge. A remarkably impressive first film that hints at the promise of its director: a talent confirmed by Tsai's equally stunning Vive L'Amour and Stray Dogs.
