Have A Nice Day + SRP Live, Rio Cinema

Have A Nice Day has been called the ‘Pulp Fiction of animation’: it’s a whirlwind neo-noir full of humour and violence set in a small town in Southern China. MUBI x NTS radio present this thriller, which follows the bloody fallout after a bag of one million yuan is stolen.

The film won Best Animation Feature at the Golden Horse Awards, cementing director Liu Jian’s place as a pioneering force of independent Chinese animation. Despite this, Have A Nice Day has been controversial – it was criticised by the Chinese government and has faced difficulties with distribution.

This one-off screening will be followed by a live performance by the electronic duo The Shanghai Restoration Project. Their polyrhythmic palette provides the soundtrack to the film.

Culture Whisper is offering Gold Whisper members free pairs of tickets to this film screening. Book now to avoid disappointment.
