The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 4 times at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$60 to HK$100 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at Broadway Cinematheque in Yau Ma Tei, HK$60. Category IIB · 96 minutes.

What it is about

Arnold is a middle-aged mouse caught in an existential crisis. His marriage is falling apart, his life feels meaningless, and he begins to suspect that everything around him is a grand illusion. When his best friend dies under suspicious circumstances, Arnold becomes convinced that something is not right. What begins as a creeping paranoia turns into a desperate ight toward something that might, just might, resemble freedom.

What to expect

A middle-aged mouse convinced his world is a lie, a marriage in freefall, a friend dead under unexplained circumstances — Alberto Vázquez’s *Decorado* uses hand-drawn animation to build something closer to paranoid noir than to anything aimed at children. The line work is rough and deliberately unpolished, which gives the whole thing a queasy, decaying feel that matches the protagonist’s state of mind. At 96 minutes it sustains a single, claustrophobic mood rather than chasing set pieces, so patience is required. The Hong Kong release is tiny: one cinema, four screenings over the next seven days, cheapest ticket $60. The movie is rated IIB, plays in Spanish with Chinese subtitles, and will suit viewers who want adult animation that stays uncomfortable rather than resolving neatly.
