Haunted by his personal demons, a man finds himself struggling with an unbearable debt and enters a world of obscure gambling where every move might be his last one.
Epically mental! An amalgamation of Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) and Sucker Punch (2011), masterfully put together with pure Chinese artistry and temperament. A remake of the Japanese film Kaiji Ultimate Gambler (2009) – an adaptation of the “Kaiji” manga series – Animal World mesmerises straight from the opening sequence and earns its stripes in the evolution of Chinese cinema.
Through brilliant editing, directing, and visual effects that bring the hero’s cognitive manifestations to life, director Yan Han unfolds a world within a world. A cosmos where love, brotherhood, perseverance, loyalty, and betrayal lead to one’s self-discovery and ultimately… their destiny. A journey reveals that math’s complexity pales compared to human nature’s intricacy. A life’s lesson that man came from an animal… and still remains one.
