Country: Hong Kong
Director: Wong Chun
Cast: Shawn Yue, Eric Tsang, Elaine Jin & Charmaine Fong.
Tung suffers from bipolar disorder and is forced to stay with his estranged father after being dismissed from the hospital. He tries to reintegrate into society by helping his neighbors, But nobody understand him fully.
Mad World’s script looks very strong, clean and simple. The combination scenes between Shawn Yue and Eric Tsang were nicely presented by the director. The society plays an important role in molding a person whether it's a good or bad influence. There are some shocking moments if you truly immersed in Tung's character and placed yourself in his state of mind. You can call this movie a character study of a troubled young man who wants to survive in this mad world. The director also discusses contemporary Hong Kong. It was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards. Anyway, it won many Asian awards which are not a surprise at all. Overall, It's a sincere film by Wong Chun and a realistic look at the bipolar disorder.
Verdict: Good
