Have a Nice Day

There’s a suitcase full of cash on the loose, and a rich menagerie of underworld characters are hustling to snag it. Liu Jian’s darkly comic animated feature follows a procession of hyper-articulate low-lifes on a roundelay of seedy noir adventures spiced with witty – and sometimes rather politically pointed – observations about China today. Liu’s old school 2D character animations are set against beautifully drawn, eerily atmospheric backgrounds that are spellbinding in their own right.
