Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Lin Yu Hsien, Taiwanese youth film Exit No. 6 delves into the fast lives of today's lost younger generation. Lin Yu Hsien previously directed 2005's Jump Boys, a documentary about child gymnasts which found unexpected popularity at the box office and went on to win the Best Documentary Award at the Golden Horse Film Awards. In Exit No. 6, his first fictional feature film, Lin explores a topic that he had covered in documentary form before - youth subculture. Set in Taipei's colorful youth mecca Ximending, the film stars television heartthrobs Eddie Peng (My DNA Says I Love You, When Dolphin Met Cat) and Ethan Ruan (Hanazakarino Kimitachihe), as well as actresses Olivia Chen, Yoo Ha Na, and Ya Zi from Blackie's Teenage Club and One Million Star. |
