Rebels of the Neon God is a thought-provoking gritty movie set in Taiwan that explores themes of alienation, loneliness, and rebellion in Taipei's urban setting. The story revolves around four young individuals who wander aimlessly through the city, searching for meaning and connection. I was intrigued by the film's ability to capture the essence and ambiance of Taipei in the early 1990s, with its vibrant neon lights, bustling arcades, lively karaoke bars, and congested traffic. The film also captures the frustration experienced by these disillusioned youth who feel trapped and adrift in a seemingly hopeless world very well. Also watching this piece of work needs a lot of patience so it might not be the best for everyone.
