Women

Directed by Charlene Shih · 1999

Hand-painted in ink on rice paper, two calligraphic characters transform into a shaven-headed girl searching for herself in a traditional landscape, torn between desire and morality.

Gorgeous ink-wash animation that turns Chinese calligraphy into a personal portrait of womanhood.

"女子"全片均為水墨手繪於宣紙﹐ 它開始於"女"與 "子" 兩個書法字體的變形幻化﹐ 牽引出陰性與陽性相對存在的矛盾心態﹐光頭女孩叛逆又尷尬的在傳統水墨山水裡找尋自我﹐ 在慾望與道德裡掙扎﹐ 其實這部片就是作者自己的寫照。
