Tsai Ming-liang. 1991, 50 mins. Digital projection. With Lee Kang-sheng.<br \/>\nWhile preparing to shoot this short feature for television, Tsai discovered and auditioned a young man working as a guard at a video arcade. This was Lee Kang-sheng, Tsai\u2019s muse-to-be, who has appeared in all of his feature films to date. Lee plays a junior-high student who bullies and blackmails a younger boy, then receives the same treatment at the hands of some older students, in what could be a practice run for the presentation of dog-eat-dog youth in the following year\u2019s Rebels of the Neon God. One of ten television features Tsai wrote between 1989 and 1991, Boys offers a rare glimpse into his apprenticeship period. \u201cI decided to be more accepting of Hsiao-kang&#8217;s acting, rather than force him to react quicker,\u201d said Tsai. \u201cIf that&#8217;s the way he reacts, that&#8217;s the way he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students \/ free for members at the Film Lover level and above).
