Unknown Pleasures
ComedyDrama
Three disaffected youths live in Datong in 2001, part of the new "Birth Control" generation. Fed on a steady diet of popular culture, both Western and Chinese, the characters of Unknown Pleasures represent a new breed in the People's Republic of China, one detached from reality through the screen of media and the internet.
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.
