TFAI The River by Tsai Ming Liang 1997
蔡明亮《河流》數位修復
The River, Tsai Ming-liang’s third feature film, was released in 1997 and follows Xiao-kang, who unexpectedly reunites with an old friend and ends up playing a corpse in a movie. Soon after, he develops a mysterious neck ailment that no treatment can cure. His family is deeply fractured—his mother is having an affair, while his father frequents gay saunas. They live under the same roof but exist as strangers. For the film’s digital restoration, I redesigned the teaser and main posters, incorporating a water-stained title treatment to evoke both the river’s presence and the damp, heavy atmosphere of the sauna scenes.

《河流》是蔡明亮導演的第三部電影，於1997年上映。小康在百貨公司門口巧遇兩年不見的朋友，進而參與朋友製作電影的臨演，飾演一具浮沉在河流出水口的男性屍體。後來，小康的脖子得了怪病，到處求醫，始終無法治癒，小康的家庭並沒有溫暖：母親陸弈靜餐廳當電梯小姐，有婚外情人，父親則是有機會就到同志三溫暖找年計前導及主海報，特別設計了浸溼暈染的電影標準字，如同劇初小康浮沉的河流，也彷彿散發著三溫暖中的濕熱氣息⋯⋯
