Permanent Residence (DVD) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3

Up-and-coming Hong Kong director Scud made a splash in 2008 with his debut feature City Without Baseball, a urban drama that's nominally about the Hong Kong Baseball Team but is more remembered for its gay undertones and full-frontal nudity scenes. Attaining a quick following and some notoriety for his open depiction of sexuality and the male body, Scud doesn't disappoint with his 2009 follow-up Permanent Residence, a heartwrenching gay love story that doesn't spare on the naked men or the postmodern brooding.

What's worse, a gay man who doesn't love you, or a straight man who loves you? Partly inspired by Scud's own life story, Permanent Residence follows Ivan (newcomer Sean Li) and his impossible love with the straight Windson (Osman Hung of EO2). Hitting it off after their first meeting in a sauna, Ivan and Windson develop an ambiguous, intimate relationship that follows them through years of ups and downs, fallouts and reunions. The two share a bond deeper than any other, but Windson cannot take the final step and reciprocate Ivan's physical love.

The first chapter in Scud's gay film trilogy, Permanent Residence situates its core story of pained love amid existential rumination and an almost amusing fascination with mortality, making the film as artistically intriguing as it is emotionally wrenching. Tech credits are top notch with Herman Yau as cinematographer and Teddy Robin on music. The film features location shooting in China, Thailand, Australia, and most notably Israel and the Dead Sea, which provide a crucial setting for the film's unexpected conclusion.

Comes with director's interview, behind-the-scenes, and trailer for Scud's upcoming Amphetamine.

導演: 雲翔

愛上一個註定不能愛你的男人，你願意耗用多少青春和氣力，去接受那些甜蜜與折磨，換一個很可能令你心碎的結果？當一個同男與一名異男，發展出一段比情侶更親密的關係，他們最貼近的距離又是多近？

這是一個關於同性戀男子，與異性戀男子「談感情」的故事，也是一個關於「失去」(loss)的故事。男主角Ivan(李家濠飾)，從小就不相信自己能活過30歲，他迷戀死亡，也一直想求得「人死後往哪裡去」的解答。他認識了異性戀男子Windson(洪智傑飾)，兩人發展出一段刻骨銘心，卻相當艱困的戀愛。電影記述了Ivan的過去丶現在，也預言了未來。



導演雲翔的話《永久居留》講一個沉迷死亡的男生，愛上一位健帥的直男。故事是講一生的，於是有人猜想是導演的自傳；我有那麼偉大嗎？

但我的電影的結尾句是：「本片故事并非虛構，如有雷同未必巧合」 我只想講一些不尋常的故事，不可能的愛情，不思議的人生，不過，都要是我相信的。為甚麼要虛構呢？人生中的很多故事，都沒電影拍過﹗《永久居留》裡的愛情是男生之間的，但看完試片受感動的，通常是女生。

電影在以色列、日本、澳大利亞、泰國、中國大陸取景，感謝拍了上百部片的邱禮濤導演為我掌攝影機，而我的電影裡最好看的永遠是演員。李家濠說為了投入要真的愛上洪智傑，我相信他們的演出會令很多觀眾愛上，無論男女異同。 獻給相信愛可以跨過生命的人。
