Winds of September (Chinese: 九降風) is a 2008 Taiwanese film. Set in 1996 in Hsinchu, it focuses on a gang of teenage boys who drink, smoke and gamble, and the relationships between them. It broke a number of taboos in Taiwanese filmmaking,[citation needed] including showing the group skinny dipping.
Directed and co-written by Tom Lin Shu-yu, the film was praised for its good acting and realistic themes. It was screened at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, and the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2008.
Eric Tsang produced the Hong Kong adaptation, High Noon (2008), by Heiward Mak.[1]
