Celebrated commercial director YU makes a remarkable leap to narrative filmmaking with his first feature, drawing inspiration from personal experience and a prolific career directing music videos for icons such as Mayday, Will PAN, and Cyndi WANG. Backed by Mayday frontman Ashin and Golden Horse-winning producer YEH Ju-Feng, YU brings his signature visual sensibility and emotional nuance to the big screen.
A tender exploration of connection, compromise, and the blurred lines between ambition and affection, YU’s debut feature delicately probes the quiet crises that lie beneath the surface of contemporary relationships.
In this quietly affecting modern romance, renowned talent manager CHEN Le-Fu (played by acclaimed singer René LIU) and her boyfriend LIN Po-En (HSUEH Shih-Ling), a music video director, lead parallel lives in the same city—yet rarely share the same space. When CHEN is suddenly hospitalised, the two are thrust into an unusual and confined intimacy: 24 hours a day, face to face, in the same hospital room. What begins as a reunion slowly becomes a reckoning, as the couple confronts not only the strain of their careers, but also the emotional distance they’ve learned to live with.
從拍攝五月天、潘瑋柏、王心凌等 MV 打響知名度,以獨特視覺語言聞名的導演游紹翔,首度挑戰劇情長片之作。《我們意外的勇氣》取材自導演親身經歷,由五月天阿信與金製葉如芬監製,電影探問了穩定關係中的差距與妥協,在一場意外之中,彼此的年齡、事業規劃和家庭生活差距,都被瞬間放大碰撞,於此,感情要如何留下溫柔?
故事講述資深經紀人樂芙(劉若英 飾)與年輕導演柏恩(薛仕凌 飾)同居多年,卻早已在忙碌中失去陪伴。一次突如其來的事故,將兩人困在同一間小病房;重逢的短暫溫存,隨即化為對彼此差距的拷問——年齡、事業、家庭,一切秘密在此被放大,情感裂痕一覽無遺。
游紹翔以極富溫度的敘事語彙,勾勒出現代都會情感的隱性裂縫,捕捉戀人面對危機時的脆弱與韌性。《我們意外的勇氣》是一部屬於成熟世代的情感映照:當人生意外降臨,人們該如何在信念與妥協之間抉擇,也許只是需要,再次相愛的勇氣。
