Nick Cheung's fourth feature delves into a surreal rendition of Hong Kong after the 2008 financial crash, showcasing intense dream sequences infused with themes of outrage and guilt. The eccentric psychiatrist Dr. Man investigates the mysterious case of a narcoleptic taxi driver and his obsessive wife, Fiona, revealing a nightmarish landscape where personal dreams intertwine with economic despair. Although the film displays stunning visuals reminiscent of David Lynch, it struggles with narrative coherence, as the transition to a more traditional story is jarringly abrupt, leaving character depth lacking by the conclusion.
There’s an irrepressible fountain of dream imagery erupting out of Nick Cheung's fourth feature, which imagines Hong Kong after the 2008 financial crash.
Dr Man discovers something even more disturbing at the man’s home: his wife Fiona, an obsessive shut-in who monitors financial feeds.
