Award-winning director YANG Ya-Che (The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful, 2017) brings together a remarkable cast—Wu Kang-Ren (Abang Adik, 2023), LIU Chu-Ping (Bad Education, 2022), and Alisia LIANG (Who’ll Stop the Rain, 2023)—to craft a sensuous and poetic exploration of lust, eroticism, and forbidden desire, moving from superficial restraint to emotional unravelling.
Desire, all-encompassing with its erotic impulses and dreamlike allure, but what happens when pleasure and secrecy collide with identity, shame, and exposure? Is it still intimate, wild, or freeing? With quiet intensity and provocative grace, director YANG Ya-Che offers a striking portrait of the hidden self—of the thrills we keep behind closed doors, and the fragile truths that begin to surface when secrets no longer stay buried.
Four restless souls move through the numb routine of daily life. What binds them is not love or friendship, but a shared craving—for physical release, for emotional escape, for something more. As they draw closer to the fire they’re playing with, what ignites is no longer pleasure, but the raw, inescapable truths they’ve each tried to bury. The Chronicles of Libidoists strips away pretense to confront the primal, unfiltered desires that make us human—with stunning honesty and a daring vulnerability rarely seen on screen.
繼金馬獲獎之作《血觀音》後，導演楊雅喆睽違七年全新力作《破浪男女》，攜手實力派卡司《富都青年》吳慷仁、《黑的教育》劉主平與《誰是被害者》梁湘華，譜出一段感性而大膽的慾望詩篇。從表面上的自制與壓抑，逐步揭開慾望背後潛藏的情感流動。
《破浪男女》直擊人們在亮麗包裝下的秘密面孔：無論在何種職場、家庭、信仰環境中，關上房門後，人們都化身為不同的自己。在悄無聲息的深海世界中，褪去衣物的人們，騎乘著渴望，在暗湧中載浮載沉。而這份難以名狀的驅動力，究竟是被慾望主導，或是被情感羈絆給支配呢？
四位截然不同的主角，在房門前後玩著一場權力交換的遊戲。他們並非因愛而相繫，而是為了情感逃逸而聚。攝影機在水面與光影之間流轉，恰似他們歡愉與痛苦交織的拉扯。電影中的性，有如被主角呵護的蘭花般嬌柔，在那一瞬的美豔與脆弱結合之際，隱藏的痛苦也如浪潮迸裂般，波及了彼此的正常生活。
這是一部台灣影史上鮮少觸及的前衛之作：它以坦率的視角，將禁忌與慾望赤裸呈現，卻不失動人的情感深度與細膩流動。導演楊雅喆用最誠實的鏡頭語言，讓觀眾直面那些關於身份、慾望與真我的多重面向，也讓人在波光粼粼中，接納自己最難以啟齒的渴望。
