Unknown Pleasures
ComedyDrama
Two disaffected, unemployed Chinese youth drift through life on the streets of their industrial town, their paths crossing with that of a local young singer and dancer working for a liquor company as a spokesmodel.
VIBE
A stark, unvarnished look at disaffected youth adrift in a rapidly changing China. It feels like watching aimless days bleed into bleak nights, punctuated by fleeting, hollow connections and the hum of a society in transition.
