Cui Zi’en’s "Night Scene" takes on one of the biggest taboos in contemporary China: male street prostitution. The gripping story follows a boy who discovers his father’s homosexuality, and in the process discovers his own. Night Scene is a unique portrait of a twilight world in parks and clubs that veers between documentary and fiction. Cui mixed real gigolos with actors, while making no strict distinction between homosexuals and prostitutes. It is an ambiguous, layered film, just as boundless as the lives of male prostitutes in China.
Cui Zi’en (崔子恩) is from Harbin and is now living in Florida. He is a director, film scholar, screenwriter, novelist and an pioneering queer activist. He graduated from the Chinese Academy of Social Science and now is an Associate Professor at the Beijing Film Academy. The author of books on criticism and theory, Cui Zi’en has also published nine novels in China and Hong Kong, including the first gay novel in modern Chinese literature. He founded the Beijing Queer Film Festival, the first LGBT film festival in 2001. He directed his first film, Men and Women in 1999 and has since written and/or directed over 20 more. Forging an queer video activism, Cui’s work circulates freely between fiction and documentary, the conventional and the avant-garde. His best known films are Enter the Clowns (2002), The Old Testament (2002), Night Scene (2003), and Queer China, “Comrade” China (2008). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-3JHQI5ayw
Its English-language title was based on the song "Bad Romance", by singer/songwriter Lady Gaga. It was written and directed by first-time filmmaker François Chang, who has taken the essence of the song to create a story focussing on seven lonely individuals whose lives could be transformed after experiencing love at first sight.
The movie is about the life of a boy whose grandmother had Alzheimer. He was forced to work in a gay massage so that he could pay for high medical expenses.
The movie was shot by the students of Taipei University of the Arts
In his visually impressive, sensual debut film in which he also plays the leading role this 21-year-old director demonstrates all the poetic intensity of a Jean Genet in describing these three misfits’ mute search for intimacy. The love songs of Taiwanese singer Teresa Tung help the protagonist get in touch with his locked-away emotions.

It was filmed in Hong Kong, Mongolia, Malaysia, Australia, Germany and Holland, and is the director's first film partially made outside Asia, and also his first to be filmed mostly in the English language.It explores several themes traditionally regarded as 'taboo' in Hong Kong society in an unusually open, convention-defying way, and features full-frontal male nudity in several scenes.
