Unreal Dream

About This Movie

Unreal Dream from '82 is this gritty dive into the underbelly of Hong Kong, featuring a small Chinese group escaping the Mainland. It’s raw, you know? The story revolves around their dark descent into robbery and the seedy world of prostitution and murder. There's a real sense of desperation throughout, and the pacing is unrelenting, capturing that chaotic atmosphere of the time. Practical effects are sparse but effective, lending a stark realism to the violence. Performances are uneven but resonate with authenticity, making you feel the weight of their choices. It’s not polished but has that unique charm of underground cinema that collectors often appreciate.
