The late Taiwanese writer Lee Wei-jing wrote in her book I Am Hsu Liang-liang: “But how could you blame a girl? Isn’t that what girlhood is? Only through an intense yearning for love can one generate the power to change the world. The ability to defy the universe—that is the essence of a girl’s strength.”
A girl’s love, youth, and sorrow have long served as the most compelling themes in art—and the ones most longed for by creators. Through the devotion and actions of girls, these stories blossom, rooted in the fierce emotional landscape of adolescence. The artist's ambition may be real, but can the girl’s heart remain authentic under the aesthetic filter of art?
This playlist features films that place girls at the center of the gaze—their bodies and desires exposed to the audience. But are these girls truly vivid and alive, or merely aestheticized slices of youth? The answer awaits you in viewing.
