但漢章 Fred TAN │ 香港 Hong Kong │ 1986 │ DCP │ Colour │ 110min

美麗的李琳是富商黃承德之妻，承德從事積體電路生意，在熱錢滾滾的的八○年代，他正準備經由證券記者兼好友葉原所提供的內線消息，在台股市場大撈一筆。李琳原是思想保守的家庭主婦，平日閱讀副刊、算算命、上插花課、跟富太太們打打牌來消磨時間。但是在葉原的不斷誘惑和好友淑芬的啟蒙之下，她開始探索自身情慾。丈夫承德多疑霸道、情郎葉原浪蕩不羈，李琳到底該怎樣才能掌握自身的命運？

電影改編自李昂的同名小說，將原著中悖德故事連環套的敘事結構，改為聚焦在李琳出軌的單線敘事。導演但漢章和原作者李昂均是關注性與性別問題的先驅者，本片除了呈現性與權力關係、性與性別結構等樣態之外，也刻意呈現了八○年代臺灣錢淹腳目，道德觀不再僵固的社會現狀。外遇、炒股、求神問卜，但漢章獨特的細節刻畫配上張弘毅的音樂，讓本片帶有冷冽寫實的調性，又具有強大視覺衝擊，在新電影一派男性浪漫系譜中獨樹一格。

Cheng-de is a successful businessman in the IC industry and he gets inside information from his friend YE Yuan, a financial journalist. Under the inflowing of hot money in the 1980s, he prepares to make a big fortune in the stock market. LI Lin, Cheng-de’s beautiful but conservative wife, spends her time reading, on divination, bouquets, and playing cards with wealthy wives. LI begins exploring her sexual desire after having stimulation by her friend and seduction by YE. What will LI do to take charge of her destiny between her oppressive husband and lecherous lover?

The film bases the story on LI Ang’s novel which depicts serial immoral stories. The adaptation focuses on a love affair of LI. Fred TAN, the director, and LI Ang, the novelist, are both pioneers of sex and gender issues. The film shows the relationships between sex, gender, and power structure. It also reveals the social status liberating its morality during the period of Taiwan Economic Miracle. TAN made the film with specific plots including fortune telling, speculation on stocks, and the way of having an affair. With the music by JHANG Hung-yi, the film is realistic, low-key in style, and impressive in visual performance. It is a one-of-a-kind work among the romantic films by male directors in Taiwan New Cinema.
