"***** Incredibly heartfelt, raw - legitimately like nothing else I've ever seen." - Dan Barrett, Have a Nice Life
"No one else is doing what Terry Chiu is doing. He's deep into some digital mindscape that begs for new language to describe it." - Kai Perrignon, Static Vision
"*****The most magnificent DIY film I've ever seen and a completely singular experience." - Ollie Zhang, 88rising
From Writer/Director Terry Chiu (MANGOSHAKE) comes an explosively apocalyptic journey into Punching your way to the Embodiment Of Angst
Set in a desolate wasteland, two super-powered souls, Keikei (Xinkun Dai) and Rev (Ging Yu Kei), fight for the absolution of their existential pain via the search for a prophesied and quite literal Embodiment of Angst. Forging an alliance with an enigmatic man who roams the wasteland within a giant mobile corrugated platic boombox, their search for answers collides them with a barrage of weird and wicked gangs, each one personifying a conflicting school philosophy. All the while, the most hideous being in the universe subsumes his desire for intimacy with a corrupting nihilism that threatens to swallow all the players on this peculiar plain of existence.
Self-consciously indebted to Hideaki Anno’s Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chiu adapts the aesthetics of anime action in tandem with Anno's angsty tendencies onto a decidedly lo-fi canvas. And propelled by Chiu's densely ratatat dialogue, subtitled in both English and Traditional Chinese, the film viscerally crescendos from climax to climax in an episodic parade of striking compositions and madcap setpieces that are as infectiously hysterical as they are disarmingly profound.

"Mangoshake is a D.I.Y. film-making triumph that is stuffed with genuine talent from an untested cast that deserves your attention like, right now. See it at any opportunity you can." - Adam Cooper (Letterboxd)
"Mangoshake is side-splittingly hilarious" - Brandon Wall-Fudge (The Mutt)
"This may very well be the best thing ever born out of Canadian suburbia, and that's in consideration of our greatest hockey players." - Pere Jules (Letterboxd)
Check out a trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0dGZcd5dc8
An uproarious lo-fi labyrinth of suburban adolescent shenanigans over ‘one crazy summer’, MANGOSHAKE recalls the generational coming-of-age myths of Richard Linklater or George Lucas’s American Graffiti, but filtered through a raw and frequently anarchic aesthetic that affords it a disarming authenticity. Shot over a single summer among a group of real-life friends and acquaintances, themselves at the crossroads of adulthood, the film in a sense also documents its own creation. Akin to thumbing the pages of a teenager’s secret diary, jubilant irreverence gives way to startlingly profound pangs of existential angst, relationships evaporate without catharsis, and the ‘best’ or ‘worst’ day of one’s life are perpetually up for emotional debate. Gold Ninja Video is proud to present MANGOSHAKE on Blu-ray for the first time in a feature packed special edition that includes the Extended Heatstroke Edition, a commentary track with Writer/Director Terry Chiu, deleted scenes, short films, behind the scenes footage, festival introductions, and more!
