Maniacal Night

About This Movie

Maniacal Night is a curious little comedy that stirs in the chaotic atmosphere of Hong Kong's Handover in 1997. Picture an offbeat tone where a Japanese ex-pat is just trying to enjoy his last night before the clock strikes midnight. The pacing is quirky, with moments that blend absurdity and genuine emotion, often leaving you chuckling and a bit puzzled. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a charm that's hard to ignore. Performances are a mixed bag; some feel exaggerated but others really capture the spirit of the time. It's distinctive in its setting and the way it reflects on culture and identity during a pivotal moment in history. A hidden gem of sorts.
