Boss No Balls poster

Released in 1989, Boss No Balls is a notable film directed by Chin-Liang Hsu.

What it’s about. BNB is a film of puzzling contradictions. It has the look of a cheapie, with awful washy colouration and mostly filmed in a poor fishing hamlet, yet starring some of Taiwan's top acting talent. The story veers madly between plain sincerity and outrageous wacky comedy. The characters, convincingly innocent and and credibly naive, discuss sexually charged health problems in full detail. Elephantitis is a traumatic condition, literally grotesque, but the sufferers conduct themselves with unusual cheerfulness. They don't show any physical strain, even with testicles weighing ten kilograms. Ouch.

Who’s in it. Boss No Balls stars Chan Chung-Yung.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, Boss No Balls sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
