Animal World
The Press Reviews
Drawing equally from the altered-reality universes of comic books and video games, Animal World is an exciting if disjointed mash of ideas and emotions. Full Review
It's a scenario that is realised in extravagant fashion by writer-director Han Yan, whose heightened sensibility oscillates between dazzling and dizzying, often in the same elaborately designed sequence. Full Review
...it’s extremely nerdy stuff, however many killer clown fantasy sequences are dropped in. Full Review
