A Brave New World 2024 Directed by Arnold Tam
Two COVID-testing employees make out in hazmat suits. A blindfolded student sits on her bed, rhythmically reciting lines from a school textbook. Evocative scenes, rich in symbolism, are strung together to form this striking, wry portrait of Hong Kong’s current social turmoil. Arnold Tam commits to a daring visual style and doesn’t shy away from dashes of absurdity to get his message across.
