 Viva Tonal (aka The Dance Ages) (跳舞時代)
2003 | 104 Mins | Documentary | G
Dir. Chien Wei-ssu and Kuo Chen-ti 導演: 簡偉斯 / 郭珍弟
“I'm a cultured woman, traveling about footloose and fancy-free.” So begins a lilting tune from Taiwan's "Dance Age" of the 1920s and '30s, a paradoxical time when the island's occupation by Japan also brought youth culture and a measure of artistic freedom. This historical documentary explores this time in depth through the conduit of a Taipei oldies DJ with an obsessive passion for '30s music. He takes the viewer on a voyage of discovery to meet surviving singers, composers and record aficionados of the era.

「阮是文明女，東西南北自由志，逍遙佮自在。」這首輕快的韻律，乃是紀錄二○年代至三○年代台灣「跳舞時代」的主題曲。那是個自相矛盾的時代，當時台灣正為日本所佔領，文化與藝術自由卻因此隨之而來。透過一位在台北狂熱於三○年代通俗音樂節目主持人的引導，這部深入探討當代流行音樂的歷史紀錄片，於焉展開；他無異是影片中的導遊，帶領觀眾去會見至今尚存的當年歌手、作曲家、唱片迷。
