The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 10 times at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$60 to HK$95 depending on cinema and time. The cheapest seat is at CINEMATHEQUE in Yau Ma Tei, HK$60. Category IIB · 133 minutes.

What it is about

When a viral video of a student threatening his classmates surfaces online, the school spirals into escalating violence. Crushed by the pressure of teachers and parents, three outcasts take refuge in a nearby forest. There, play hardens into ritual and pain becomes an escape, until old wounds surface and the boundaries between them are redrawn.

What to expect

Lee Chang-dong and Jannis Lenz co-direct this German-language drama about three students who retreat to a forest after a viral video of a classroom threat sends their school into a spiral of violence. Away from teachers and parents, their games turn ritualistic and physical, blurring the line between escape and self-harm. The 133-minute runtime is deliberate and the tone unrelenting — this is a slow, punishing watch that earns its IIB certificate. The 4K restoration is screening at a single cinema in Hong Kong, with ten shows over the next seven days and tickets from HK$60. English and Chinese subtitles.
