Murmur of Youth (Chinese: 美麗在唱歌) is a 1997 Taiwanese coming-of-age film directed by Lin Cheng-sheng. Stars Rene Liu and Jing Tseng shared the Best Actress award at the 1997 Tokyo International Film Festival.[1]
The film follows the parallel stories of Chen Mei-Li (Rene Liu), a middle-class suburban girl from a materialistic dysfunctional family, and the shyer, more introverted Ling Mei-li (Jing Tseng), a working-class girl being raised by her father and grandmother in a ramshackle home on the outskirts of town. The two meet when Ling, after dropping out of college when the boy she has a crush on begins dating another girl, takes a job at a local movie theater working the ticket booth with Chen. First bonding over their shared name, a close friendship slowly develops between them.[2][3]
