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.
Eric Tsang produced the Hong Kong adaptation, High Noon (2008), by Heiward Mak.
