About This Movie

Our Time Machine invites you into a deeply personal exploration of memory and creativity through the lens of Ma Liang, also known as Maleonn. The film’s tone is often poignant, with a certain ethereal quality that beautifully contrasts the stark reality of Alzheimer’s. It's fascinating how Maleonn crafts this autobiographical stage performance as a means of reconnecting with his father, Ma Ke. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional heft to settle in without feeling rushed. There’s a captivating mix of practical effects that blur the line between reality and memory, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. The performances are raw and heartfelt, particularly in how they capture the nuances of father-son dynamics facing the shadows of illness. It’s a unique piece that resonates on many levels.
