《穿牆人》The Wall-Passer
在《穿牆人》這部台灣的奇幻愛情片裡，時間和空間都不是阻礙，然而還是有些東西是愛情無法克服的。過去曾和楊德昌導演合作過的編劇，鴻鴻，這次以導演身分發表了一部很有特色的低成本電影，不過電影裡呈現出來的豐富視覺效果，創造出了一個超出有限資源的奇幻世界。交錯的故事敘述方式有露出一些馬腳，不過仍然讓人從頭到尾都很投入，是亞洲或奇幻影展裡的必看電影，很可能還會出現一些死忠粉絲。
故事從一位17歲男孩，小鐵（張永政飾）和他的父母撤離地震災區裡的老家搬到「實境城」開始。他的保險業務員父親幾乎不說話、而他的家電迷母親卻老是說不停，熱衷於鋼琴的小鐵則是以手指不停的敲出音律。他像在操作發報機似的不停的敲打電腦鍵盤，造成由網路支配的極權政府負荷超載。
在一次前往核電廠的教學旅行中，小鐵發現了一顆放射性的石頭，讓他有了可以穿越牆壁的能力。教學旅行的下一站則是在附近的博物館，在那裡，小鐵遇見了一個藉由電子耳溝通的聽障女服務員──諾諾（李佳穎飾），從此他們開始了他們的脆弱的愛情，不過也因諾諾法國前男友的出現而決裂。
傷心之餘，諾諾失蹤了。小鐵藉由那顆發光的石頭，穿梭在世界的角落，尋找他那失去的愛情。諾諾始終音訊杳然，小鐵最後卻在一片荒蕪地帶裡，遇到了類似穿著皮衣的蘿拉的盲女辣妹（路嘉欣飾）。小鐵想要個當救美的英雄，可是辣妹透露出的秘密卻翻覆了他們之間的關係。
《穿牆人》的劇本很耐人尋味，雖然在自己的弔詭哲思中有點迷了路，不過結局還是予人強烈衝擊。演員的表演扎實，穩定的演技讓一些可能淪為搞笑的場景變得很有說服力。導演的功力面面俱到，也善用投影和其它技巧來刺激視覺效果。攝影師包軒鳴的攝影讓人印象深刻，他以大量的鐵藍/灰色的金屬色調打造出一種精緻質感，成就超逾了本片的微薄成本。其它的技術層面也都十分令人激賞。

(Mandarin, French, Japanese dialogue)
Time and space provide no barrier, but there are some things love still can’t overcome in oddball Taiwanese sci-fi romancer “The Wall-Passer.” An occasional collaborator with Edward Yang, scribe-cum-helmer Hung Hung delivers a stylishly mounted low-budgeter whose rich visuals help create a fantasy world beyond pic’s resources. Mixed-up yarn initiates several narrative dead ends, but remains engaging to its conclusion. A must-see for Asian and fantasy fests, pic may garner a small, but loyal cult following on ancillary.
Story hurriedly begins as 17-year-old Tye (Chang Yungcheng) and his parents evacuate their home after an earthquake on planet G40 and move to Reality City. With his insurance salesman dad rarely speaking and his appliance-obsessed mom rarely shutting up, Tye is fanatical about the piano and takes to constantly tapping out rhythms. His constant tinkling on his computer keyboard as if it was a set of 88s leads to an overload on the Internet-dominated, totalitarian state in which he now lives.
While on a school field trip to a nuclear power plant, Tye discovers a radioactive rock whose powers enable the schoolboy to pass through walls.
As the school trip continues on to a nearby museum, Tye also meets alien deaf shopgirl NoNo (Lee Chiaying) who can speak to him thanks to the interpreting bionic earpiece she wears. The pair begin an angsty romance that is truncated by the reappearance of her French-speaking ex-lover.
Overwrought, NoNo disappears. With the aid of his glowing stone, Tye searches around the world for his missing love. While NoNo remains elusive, Tye ends up at the barren region with a young,
leather-clad, Lara Croft-type hottie (Lu Chiahsin) who also happens to be blind. Tye wants to play rescuing hero, but hottie makes revelatory and disconcerting claims that shift the power balance of their relationship.
Intriguing script gets tangled up in its own philosophical contortions, but finale still manages to score a poignant punch. Perfs are solid, and thesps manage to successfully persevere, offering convincing turns through some potentially silly scenarios.
Helming is well-considered and provides a platform for stimulating visuals that make good use of rear projection and other techniques.
Impressive lensing by Jake Pollock is largely dominated by a metallic cool blue/gray tinge, that creates a sophisticated look way beyond pic’s obviously meager budget. All other tech credits are impressive.
