The Deathday Party (2014)

Other name:
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Country: Chinese
Release year: 2014
Status: Completed
 
The debut feature of New Zealand-born Eddie Tse, the film centers on a happily married, child-expectant couple, played by Archie Kao and Anita Yuen, who experience an accident that leaves Kao a full-bodied cripple. After expressing his wish to be euthanized, Yuen must deal with the criminality of her actions and the legal consequences on her and her daughter’s lives. Soon after, Yuen is caught up in an investigation by law enforcement that utilizes mind-simulation technology to extract a confession from within her. But this unique element of the film fails to externalize her internal strife in any compelling way and merely adds another cheaply decorated set in addition to a flat storyline.

    The Assassination of Chicago's Mayor (2012)

    The Assassination of Chicago's Mayor
    Genre:
    Short
    Country:
    American
    A newspaper peddler named Patrick Prendergast has delusions of greatness. Evidently slighted by the mayor, this self-anointed messenger prepares for a glorious rise from ignored lobbyist to influential icon. Prendgerast sees himself as a martyr, serving God with a noble purpose. The reality is far different. “The Assassination of Chicago’s Mayor” is a historical account of late 19th century Chicago, full of rhetoric that feels eerily contemporary. Prendergast follows his brand of ideological righteousness to its hateful end, an end where justice and revenge are one in the same.
