CriticsCritics: 98
AudienceAudience: 8.3

In a futuristic city divided between wealthy citizens above and laborers below, a privileged young man is shaken by the workers’ harsh lives. After meeting a woman who speaks of a coming mediator, he becomes caught between the city’s ruling power and growing unrest.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate ambitious silent cinema, striking futuristic worlds, and social themes; Not for you if slow pacing, exaggerated performances, or long runtimes frustrate you. 天天好ยิงปลา
