| Summary |
| |
King Hu made his first contemporary comedy film The Juvenizer in Taiwan. A drastic departure from his acclaimed wuxia oeuvre, this was Hu’s satirical treatment of Taipei’s materialistic health-crazed middle class, drowning in the futile pursuit of eternal youth and momentary romances. Regrettably, Hu’s first jab at comedy filmmaking failed to resonate with the audience, and The Juvenizer became the forgotten film that expedited the decline of his remarkable career. - George Chun Han Wang, A Brief History of Taiwanese Comedy Cinema.
