A Brighter Summer Day is a 1991 Taiwanese epic[1] teen crime drama film directed by Edward Yang, associated with the "New Taiwanese Cinema." The English title is derived from the lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?". The film was selected as the Taiwanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards but was not nominated.[2]

Set in the late 1950s and early 1960s and inspired in part by Yang's memories of the sensational coverage of a teenager tried for killing his girlfriend,[3] the film centers on Xiao Si’r (Chang Chen), a boy from a middle-class home who veers into juvenile delinquency.

Plot[edit]

Zhang Zhen (nickname Si'r), a junior high student in 1959 Taipei, is forced to attend night school after failing a test. This upsets his father, a career government worker, who is aware of and worried about the delinquency rampant among night school students. The next morning, Si'r and his father listen to a radio broadcast of distinguished students.

In 1960, Si'r, along with his best friend, Cat, spy on the filming of a drama in a movie studio. Caught by a guard, they steal his flashlight and flee back to school. Si'r, noticing movement in a darkened classroom, turns on the flashlight and startles a pair of lovers but does not see their faces. Two gangs, the Little Park Boys and their rivals the 217s, are introduced. Si'r is not a member of either gang but he is closer to the Little Park Boys. The Little Park Boys are led by Honey, who is hiding in Tainan from police after killing one of the 217s over his girlfriend, Ming. Sly leads the gang in his absence. Sly and Si'r become rivals after Si'r gets Sly in trouble, believing him and his girlfriend, Jade, to be the pair of lovers he saw. Meanwhile, Si'r and Ming meet by chance and become friends.

Sly proposes a truce, arranging a concert with members from both gangs. Honey unexpectedly resurfaces and berates Sly for setting up the concert; however, he realizes the gang respects Sly more. The night before the concert, Honey "bequeaths" Ming to Si'r, believing him to be a stable boyfriend. 


The next night, Honey appears outside of the concert hall, antagonizing the 217s. Honey takes an ostensibly friendly walk with the 217's leader, Shandong, only to be killed when Shandong pushes him in front of an oncoming car. The Little Park Boys do not believe police reports that it is an accident, and plot revenge; they murder the 217s, including Shandong, during a typhoon, using weapons acquired by Ma, one of Si'r's wealthy classmates. Sly and the surviving Little Park Boys go into hiding. The same night, Si'r's father is arrested by secret police and interrogated about his past connections with the Chinese Communist Party. While eventually freed, he is demoted.

Si'r starts dating Ming and seems to be improving academically. However, she reveals her flirtations with other boys, including an older doctor, bothering Si'r. The next day, Si'r is expelled after lashing out at the doctor and smashing a light bulb. 


He promises to pass his transfer exams to get into day school, upsetting Ming, who knows this means she will see him less. Later, Sly emerges from hiding and apologizes to Si'r for their past feud and reveals that Ming and Ma are dating. Upset, Si'r begins dating Jade, but he upsets her and she bitterly reveals that the girl he saw kissing Sly was Ming, not her.

After threatening Ma at his home, Si'r steals Cat's knife and waits outside the school for him. Instead, he sees Ming and berates her for her promiscuity, saying that he is her only hope. Ming chides Si'r for being selfish and trying to change her; like the world, she cannot be changed. He stabs her to death and breaks down. Si'r is sentenced to death but the media frenzy around the case provokes the sentence to be changed to 15 years imprisonment. In Si'r's now-barren house, his mother unexpectedly finds Si'r's school uniform. As she sobs, the radio broadcasts a list of distinguished students.

  • Lisa Yang as Ming

Production[edit]

Set in early 1960s, in Taipei, the film is based on a real incident that the director remembers from his school days when he was 13.[4] The original Chinese title, 牯嶺街少年殺人事件, translates literally as "The Homicide Incident of the Youth on Guling Street", referring to the 14-year-old son of a civil servant who murders his girlfriend, who was also involved with a teenaged gang leader, for unclear reasons. The gang leader and girlfriend are involved in the conflict between gangs of children of formerly-mainland families and those of Taiwanese families. The film places the murder incident in the context of the political environment in Taiwan at that time. The film's political background is introduced in intertitles thus:

Millions of Mainland Chinese fled to Taiwan with the National Government after its civil war defeat by the Chinese Communists in 1949. Their children were brought up in an uneasy atmosphere created by the parents' own uncertainty about the future. Many formed street gangs to search for identity and to strengthen their sense of security.[5]

Chang Kuo-chu, and his son Chang Chen (in his debut) are both cast in this film playing father and son.

Yang used Goodfellas as the model of a gangster movie.[6]

Critical reception[edit]

The film received much critical acclaim and was awarded several wins in Golden Horse Film FestivalAsia Pacific Film FestivalKinema Junpo Awards and Tokyo International Film Festival. Three different versions of the film were edited: the original 237 minute version, a three-hour version and a shorter 127 minute version.[4]

A Brighter Summer Day is ranked as the 121st most acclaimed film ever and the most acclaimed from 1991 on the review-compiling list They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?.[7] On Rotten Tomatoes, the films holds a perfect rating of 100% based on 20 reviews, with an average score of 9.40/10. The site's critics' consensus reads: "A fantastic cinematic and artistic achievement, Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day depicts youth, ideals, violence and politics in a melancholic, tender light, culminating in a complex portrait of Taiwanese identity."[8] A.O. Scott wrote in his 2011 review for The New York Times, "In every aspect of technique —from the smoky colors and the bustling, off-center compositions to the architecture of the story and the emotional precision of the performances — this film is a work of absolute mastery."

Themes[edit]

According to film critic Godfrey Cheshire, the film has "two faces, just as it has two titles" due to the sudden change of plots the film experiences halfway through its running time. A Brighter Summer Day shifts from a fraught, violent story about teenage gangs to a more introspective and family-oriented movie where the main character passively witness how his father is accused of espionage, his brother is in huge debt and his mother suffers in silence. Cheshire explains this transition of "faces":

The “outward” face is a highly critical view of a society in which all proper authority—a very Confucian concern—has been eroded or undermined, so that a young man like Xiao Si’r can be hurled into the spiral of violence indicated by the film’s Chinese title, which translates as “The Youth Killing Incident on Guling Street,” referring to a notorious crime that inspired the film. The “inward” face, meanwhile, indicated by the lyrics of the 1960 Elvis Presley hit “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” which gives the film its English title, has little to do with Taiwan and much to do with a condition unbound by time or place: the loneliness, melancholy, and longing of adolescence.[9]

The film's story reflects divisions of nationality, culture, and age in Taiwan a decade after the island was occupied by the Nationalist Chinese government following the end of mainland China's civil war and the establishment of the Communist People's Republic of China. The young characters in the film are affected by the social dislocations caused by their families' exile, changes in traditional social values, the turmoil of young love and friendships, and the lack of a clear direction to a meaningful future. Gradually developing youth gangs, coming under the sponsorship of adult criminals, provide some degree of social acceptance. The adults in their lives, such as Si'r's father, are constricted by their own social status and jobs, the need for money, and unrewarding employment. Further context is seen in the ethnic and class tensions between Chinese, native Taiwanese, and Japanese residents of the island, as well as the cultural influence of the West, especially the United States.

Restoration and home media[edit]

In 2009, the World Cinema Foundation issued a restoration of A Brighter Summer Day, using the original 35mm camera and sound negatives provided by the Edward Yang Estate.[10]

On December 17, 2015, The Criterion Collection announced the official North American DVD and Blu-ray release of a new 4K digital restoration of the film in its original running time. This release marks the first time A Brighter Summer Day is released on home video in the United States, after more than two decades of obscurity due to difficulty in finding an official copy of the film. The release includes a new English subtitle translation, an audio commentary featuring critic Tony Rayns, an interview with actor Chang ChenOur Time, Our Story, a 117-minute documentary from 2002 about the New Taiwan Cinema movement, featuring interviews with Yang and film-makers Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang, among others; a videotaped performance of director Edward Yang's 1992 play Likely Consequence; an essay by critic Godfrey Cheshire, and a 1991 director's statement by Yang.[11]

牯嶺街少年殺人事件』(クーリンチェしょうねんさつじんじけん、原題:牯嶺街少年殺人事件、英題:A Brighter Summer Day)は、1991年台湾映画

概要[編集]

1961年6月に台湾で起こり、当時思春期だったエドワード・ヤン監督に衝撃を与えた、中学生男子による同級生女子殺傷事件をモチーフにした青春映画1950年代末期から1960年にかけてが時代背景であり、エルビス・プレスリーに憧れる少年やごく普通の少年たちの風景や心情、そして事件に至ってしまった少年の心の機微まで描いている。

第28回金馬奨で最優秀作品賞を受賞。第4回東京国際映画祭インターナショナル・コンペティション部門審査員特別賞、国際批評家連盟賞受賞。1995年には、イギリスのBBCによる「21世紀に残したい映画100本」に選出。2015年には釜山国際映画祭のアジア映画ベスト100の第8位(7位の間違い)に選出された。

日本では188分バージョンが1992年4月に劇場公開され、6月から236分バージョンが劇場公開。監督は188分版を決定版としていた[1][2]。ビデオリリースは236分版のみで、1998年3月のリバイバル上映(配給:シネカノン)では188分版が上映された。

高い評価を受けながらも、日本での興行は惨敗した[3]その上、配給とソフト発売元となったヒーロー・コミュニケーションズの1995年の倒産により[4]、一時は上映や再ソフト化が困難と言われていた[5]。本作に衝撃を受けたという台湾の映画監督トム・リンは2008年公開の自作『九月に降る風』で映像を引用したかったが、権利が台湾と日本で複数の会社に複雑に分散しているために諦めざるを得なかったという[6]シネマヴェーラ渋谷の館主である内藤篤によれば、ヒーロー・コミュニケーションズ倒産後の日本国内の権利者を把握して素材が存在するのも確認しているが、特殊な会社が所有していると語っていた[7]

だが、マーティン・スコセッシが設立したフィルム・ファウンデーションのワールド・シネマ・プロジェクトと米国のクライテリオン社の共同で、オリジナル・ネガより4Kレストア・デジタルリマスター版が製作され、2016年にはクライテリオン社よりブルーレイとDVDが発売された。そして、エドワード・ヤンの生誕70年、没後10年となる2017年3月に、日本では約25年ぶりに236分の4Kレストア・デジタルリマスター版が公開された(配給:ビターズ・エンド)。それに先立って2016年10月25日から開催された第29回東京国際映画祭ワールド・フォーカス部門でプレミア上映された[8]

ストーリー[編集]

1960年の台湾、台北。主人公の小四(シャオスー)(チャン・チェン)は、大戦後に上海から渡ってきた両親、兄、二人の姉、妹とともに暮らしている。公務員の父は生真面目で世渡りはうまくない。しっかり者の母は教師をしている。家は戦前に建てられた小さな日本家屋で、小四が一人になれるのは押し入れの中だけだ。

名門である建国中学の昼間部に合格できず、夜間部に通うことになった小四は「小公園」と呼ばれる不良グループのメンバーと仲良くなる。ある夜、校舎内で「小公園」と敵対する「217」グループとのいざこざがあり、そこにいあわせた小四は誰もいないはずの教室で見知らぬ少女の後ろ姿を見かける。

映画のスタジオに忍び込んで撮影をのぞき見たり、エルヴィス・プレスリーに憧れたりと多感な時期を過ごしていた小四はある日、保健室で小明(シャオミン)(リサ・ヤン)という少女に出会い、やがて少しずつ親しくなっていく。しかし小明は、人を殺して今は行方をくらませている「小公園」のリーダー、ハニー(リン・ホンミン)の恋人だった。小明は母との二人暮らしだが、喘息の発作がひどい母はまともに働けず、二人は住まいを転々としながら貧しい生活を送っている。夜の教室で小四が一瞬姿を見かけたあの少女は彼女だった。

リーダーがいない「小公園」の弱体化を見て取った「217」のリーダー山東(シャンドン)は、ハニーの代理として「小公園」を仕切る滑頭(ホアトウ)に接近する。滑頭の父は中山堂というホールを管理する地位にあり、山東はその滑頭に近づいて中山堂でコンサートを開き、金儲けをする腹づもりだった。コンサートの当日、中山堂の前にハニーが現れるが、山東は人気のないところにハニーを誘い出すと交通事故に見せかけて殺してしまう。恋人の死を知った小明は高熱を発して倒れる。 久しぶりに登校した小明に対して小四は自分の思いを告げるが、小明の態度は曖昧なままである。

「小公園」と「217」の対立は地元のヤクザも絡んで激化し、山東は豪雨の夜に惨殺される。小四も見張り役としてこの事件に関わっていた。その同じ夜、小四の父は大陸のスパイとの繋がりを疑われて当局の厳しい取り調べを受け、帰宅を許されたものの精神的に不安定になってしまう。

小明の心をはかりかねて苦しむ小四は、やがて友人との関係も悪化し、職員室で教師にバットを振り上げるという事件を起こして学校も退学させられてしまう。更に、久しぶりに会った滑頭から、小明が小四の親友である小馬(シャオマー)と関係を持っていたことを聞かされる。小四は小馬に事実を確かめに行くが、小馬は小明とのことはただの遊びだと言って取り合わない。小明の母は小馬の家の家政婦として雇われ、小明も母と共に小馬の家に住んでいた。

ますます行き詰まった小四はある夜、短刀を持って小馬を待ち伏せするが、たまたま通りかかった小明に声をかけられ、言い争いになったあげく彼女を刺殺してしまうのだった。
