Story in Taipei (Chinese: 台北物語; pinyin: Táiběi Wùyǔ; also translated as Story of Taipei) is a 2017 Taiwanese film written and directed by Huang Ying-hsiung (黃英雄). It has been described as Taiwan's first cult film,[1] of the "so bad it's good" type.[2]

Plot

The somewhat convoluted plot involves a thief who steals a taxi, which is then boarded by a passenger. They are involved in an accident with a drunk-driving politician, who is having an affair with his assistant. Fearing scandal, he offers to buy the taxi and pay NT$500,000 in exchange for silence. The taxi-driving thief and his passenger try to blackmail the politician for more money. Unknown to them all, there is a person in the taxi's boot. The politician's wife, a doctor, starts investigating her husband's activities. At the end, all characters meet and a lot of issues are revealed, including that some other subplots were just made up stories.[2]

Cast

  • Su Yinan (蘇尹男) as lawmaker Ke Xien
  • Chen Yi-an (陳怡安) as Sun Ying, his wife
  • Mina Lee [zh] (李宓) as Guo Xinchun, his assistant
  • Oscar Chiu (邱志宇) as Tony, Sun Ying's colleague
  • Zhang Zhehao [zh] (張哲豪) as Lin Xiaoqing, the thief
  • Fu Peiling (傅佩玲) as Lin Qiuhong, the passenger who blackmails Ke Xien
  • Fang Shengqiu (方升暘) as Ke's assistant
  • Kang Luqi (康祿祺) as a builder

Reception

After opening in just three theaters in 2017, the film quickly became a social media phenomenon because of its flaws.[3] It achieved more than NT$5 million in box office receipts and played for 38 days.[2] It has been described as the lowest quality film in Taiwanese history[4] and compared to The Room.[5]
