細思極恐，劇情翻轉又翻轉。在有限的時間內可以鋪展出完整的結構蠻厲害的，但錯在我不該邊吃飯邊看。ㄉㄨㄢ頭那幕直接回想起第一次看《宿怨》的恐懼。然後這隻猴子破壞力怎麼強，是上了什麼buff嗎
具有台灣色彩美學的筆觸，描繪出這種在那個時空背景下「夜車」的獨有氛圍，一開始小猴子吃著石榴抱著媽媽的畫面對應著影子下兩人的擁抱，還以為是講述什麼溫馨的故事（不過畫面色調也有點預感了），下一秒卻上演生離死別、互相懷疑的戲碼，整個車上的人都被牽扯進小猴子的報復行動，但最後也算是達成了心願，又或是小猴子就是美蘭的分身？替她完成了使命。覺得劇情完成的很出彩，非常佩服！
夜車這部作品風格鮮明，帶有些許獵奇色彩，一開頭丈夫偷聽的場景就替後續埋下了好奇的種子。隨著劇情發展，我才發現那一幕竟具有如此重大的意義，令人驚艷。特別有趣的是，導演讓猴子成為關鍵角色，不僅在抓狂的橋段中表現得淋漓盡致，更巧妙地藉由猴子的行動傳達出「惡有惡報」的概念——像是家暴丈夫被暴力回擊、惡意指控的婦人被咬耳朵等等，讓人不禁反思。整體而言，這是一部在作畫、音樂與劇情轉折上都極具水準的動畫作品，帶給我不少驚喜與省思！
畫風跟故事其實都有種早期台灣獨特的陰暗風格，那種樸實中卻帶著人性極度的黑暗面。 看到「偷走我太太的心」那段，才突然驚覺故事每一幕都沒有浪費，但第一幕卻被我就這麼輕易地遺忘了。 短短二十分鐘，卻透過簡單的人物，複雜的劇情支線及分鏡切換帶出不同的視角，慢慢揭露出這個故事矛盾但掙扎的黑暗。 聲音的部分也做得非常精彩，完全把高潮迭起都帶起來了，氛圍也都呈現的很好！ 總而言之，我認為這是一部不需要花費多少時間卻非常精彩的一個動畫片，強烈推薦大家可以去看！
劇情描繪的很深刻且可怕，特別的畫風也襯托出這班夜車的恐怖，劇情雖然看似離奇、誇大，但卻仍把觀眾們的情緒引入其中，每個出現的角色都環環相扣，極少的人物卻是一個小型社會的縮影，「夜車」的故事發生在夜晚，營造出那種獨立、神秘、僅限於車上的故事，值得一看！
劇情詭譎，畫面體驗感很特殊，能帶給人一中前所未有的觀影體驗，但受限於篇幅可能無法將故事呈現得更完整，帶給觀影者的留白有電過於多，但是整體來說是個獨特也不失風趣的作品。
最後的夜班車，上演一場奇情大戲。一輛巴士內，有階級對立，有險惡人心，也有血腥暴力。謝文明導演的動畫短片《夜車》，把戀愛中的女子與一隻失去母親的猴子作為對照組，訴說愛是唯一的救贖，或說當心愛的人受到傷害（死亡），有可能會引來毀天滅地（玉石俱焚）的絕地反擊，愛有多深刻，報復的力量就有多龐大。 . 《夜車》的配樂、氛圍、畫風都非常迷人，大推！

Vancouver TAIWANfest describes itself as “a festival that wildly encourages dialogue.” But when it comes to gender, there are often many reasons not to talk about it. To save face, to protect the bigger picture, to keep family harmony, or simply to avoid discomfort. When words feel difficult, could film offer another way into the conversation? Through moving images, documentaries, and the intimate realities of individual lives, these works bring us closer to one another. Before rushing to say yes or no, we invite you to first sit with the complexity, diversity, and beauty of being human. Special thanks to our film selectors: Nathalie CHANG(CHANG Yi-Hsum) (Novelist), Rachel (Guitarist, P!SCO), Ted LIAO (Chef, Monsoon), Charlie SMITH (Editor, Pancouver), and Luna (TAIWANfest team).
Is this a cruel twist of fate, or greed’s desire at work? Welcome to Joe Hsieh’s wide-eyed gaze into humanity’s greed, delusion, and rage.
Since its establishment in 1962, the Golden Horse Awards have not only represented the highest honor in Chinese-language cinema but also witnessed countless filmmakers grow from their first attempts to the shaping of distinctive artistic voices. This curated selection highlights six directors nominated this year — Shen Ke-shang and Pan Ke-yin for Best New Director, as well as Lee Chun-shek, Liao Ke-fa, Chong Keat-aun, and Tsao Shih-han for Best Director — revisiting their earlier, defining works. Through this collection, we invite audiences to rediscover how these filmmakers use cinema to respond to the self, society, and their times. By tracing their creative beginnings, we also glimpse the ever-evolving vitality of Chinese-language cinema.
Who says animation is only for kids? As we fall out of childhood and into adulthood, reality and imagination start weaving the world we live in—blurring, tangling, never quite clear. From the identity struggles of Hong Kong’s queer community, to the quiet battles of the working class, to the existential weight carried by city dwellers—these complex, three-dimensional selves are often flattened into frames we can’t say aloud or capture on film. And beyond each frame lies reality, projecting itself back at us—whispering softly, shouting underneath.
A good story doesn’t need to be long! Giloo presents nine short films by emerging Taiwanese directors, delivering bold and punchy cinematic language that challenges everything you thought you knew about film.
A roundup of the top 10 hits of the year—let’s relive them together!
When the familiar surface of reality begins to crack, another set of rules governing time, space, and life quietly comes into motion. Through lines, textures, and sound, animation creates universes that have never existed, allowing unfamiliar creatures and strange landscapes to emerge from the imagination. As we pass through these cracks, we encounter not only other worlds, but also another side of reality yet to be discovered.
