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 plastic 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.
