美麗時光 (2002)

Although their characters and temperaments couldn't be less alike, 19-year olds Wei and Jie are best friends. They're also neighbours, living with widower fathers and problem siblings in the suburbs of Taipei. When Wei is promoted from the rank of nightclub parking valet to the rank of debt-collector in Brother Gu's gang, he persuades his boss to hire Jie to work alongside him. Things begin to go wrong when they are given a handgun to reward their success in the new job. Always excitable and volatile, Jie becomes reckless and dangerous when he has the gun in his hand. When they try to collect a debt from the boss of a rival gang, a fight erupts and Jie shoots the gang-boss. The boys find themselves on the run. But fate and their youthful dreams still have tricks to play.

The Best of Times is a 2002 Taiwanese narrative film directed by Chang Tso-chi. In the film, "Chang Tso-chi wraps the sensibility of urban alienation and lost youth around a typical kids-in-gangland story and infuses it with his own gentle brand of magic realism." The Best of Times was entered into the 59th Venice International Film Festival. It was also selected as the Taiwanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 75th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Production

The international exposure of Chang Tso-chi's earlier works helped him acquire investment and explore overseas markets. His third feature film, The Best of Times, was completed with funding from the Japanese broadcasting corporation NHK and attracted the attention of French and Spanish film distributors when shown at the Venice Film Festival.
