Taiwan’s ‘Goddamned Asura’ Was Crafted By “Constantly Having This Conversation About Who’s Right And Who’s Wrong”, Duo Says – Contenders International
Lou Yi-an’s Goddamned Asura begins with chilling smartphone footage of an expressionless young man opening fire on a busy night market. In a surprising move, it immediately rewinds to the events leading up to the shooting, introducing a core group of characters whose lives will be changed by it. Even more unexpected, though, is the film’s third act, which essentially posits a Sliding Doors-style “What if?” hypothesis.
