  1. Thanatos, Drunk

    Tso-chi Chang / CINEMASIA / Taiwan / 2015 / Narrative / 107 mins
    Precariously swaying on the fringe of existence, Rat never fails to have a beer can and fruit knife in hand, escaping the trials of life and death. In a muddy yet intimate story, this tale develops as undesirables dance with the gods of the netherworld.
