Directed by 吳米森
Wan, who graduated from medical school and is unemployed, has no goals except love. Although he has a flight attendant girlfriend, he met and fell in love with a self-proclaimed lesbian high school girl and advertising actor Miaomiao before his thirtieth birthday. At the same time, the actor who co-starred with Miaomiao in a mineral water commercial fell in love with her at the first kiss because of the commercial, but he only had a collection of photo albums and was in unrequited love. Really popular advertisements also appear constantly in the movie, deconstructing and humorously linking up the movie's view of love. "Fluffy Rhapsody" is Wu Mi-sen's first feature film. He uses a distinctive and jumping narrative structure, as well as highly stylized images and lines to depict the fashionable and nihilistic urban life of Taipei at the end of the last century. "Fluffy Rhapsody" is a light metaphor for the depreciation of youth, which is refreshing among Taiwanese movies at the time that were dominated by realism. This film was also rarely released in Japan and was titled "Love Fish".

The late 20th century is often regarded as one of the lowest points in Taiwanese cinema. Yet in 1999, a group of young filmmakers boldly shot independent films on 16mm and organized their own event—the “Pure 16 Film Festival.” These works entered the market with a spirit of creative independence, injecting much-needed vitality into a long-dormant film industry. In doing so, they opened up an alternative path beyond the mainstream, igniting new hope for the next generation of Taiwanese cinema. Recognizing the fragility of film stock, the Kaohsiung Film Archive undertook the digitization and restoration of independent films produced between 1997 and 2005. Through this effort, these past classics are now reintroduced in renewed form, allowing their historical and artistic value to shine once again.
