Terrorizer
Synopsis
An uncompromising look into urban life from the eyes of a voyeuristic photographer, a rebellious teenager, and a married couple teetering on the edge of adultery.
Cinematic DNA
I’m thinking of Edward Yang’s The Terrorizers, with the character of the novelist who lives in a high-rise apartment and looks out over the city. It’s a strong example that influenced my own approach to these kinds of cityscapes.
