Wicked City
Yiu sau dou si / Peter Mak Tai-Kit / Hong Kong 1992 / 91 min. / 18 years / DCP

This loose adaptation of a Japanese novel transforms the original cyberpunk subject into
the story of an existential doubt. The year 1997 is approaching and with it the handover of
Hong Kong to China. In this time of uncertainty, the city becomes an easy prey to
demonic Rapters as well as the mysterious substance called Happiness. Wicked City
transforms the fear of the future into the dark stylized vision of a world on the verge of
collapse.
