Directed by Cao Fei
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Darkly humorous reinterpretation of the zombie film, set in Beijing. Here the undead are real estate agents, nouveau riche businessmen, security guards, manicurists, and sex workers seeking contact in an increasingly individualized, alienating society.

Viewing Notes
Director Cao Fei deconstructs the zombie trope in modern Beijing to illustrate how the mundane everyday routine of these lives are more zombie-like than actual zombies. Not a new concept and one that borrows thematically from The Walking Dead. I like how it plays out with these vignettes each unique with subtle humor. These snapshots are often more fascinating than the threat of zombies, which fizzles by the end.
