“If Quentin Tarantino remade ‘Pulp Fiction’ as an animated movie set in modern day China, it might look something like this… The vivid palette of Liu’s animation conveys a comic book-like exuberance to the proceedings, but the underlying socioeconomic frustration is very real” INDIEWIRE
Following its UK theatrical run and still causing controversy across the world, pulse-pumping animated black comedy HAVE A NICE DAYhits curated streaming service MUBI from 5 October 2018.
Channeling Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction through a lens of new world, anti-Trump exasperation, HAVE A NICE DAY is a bitingly satirical treat.
A hard rain is about to fall on a small town in Southern China. In a desperate attempt to find money to save his fiancée’s failed plastic surgery, Xiao Zhang, a truck driver, steals a bag containing 1 million from his boss. News of the robbery spreads fast within the town and, over the course of one night, everyone starts looking for Xiao Zhang and his money…
With plenty of genre thrills, breakneck pacing, witty social satire and black humour, director Liu Jian delivers a whirlwind neo-noir, cementing his place as a pioneering force in independent Chinese animation.
