HAVE A NICE DAY

A FILM BY: LIU JIAN


OFFICIAL SELECTION: Berlin international Film festival 2017
WINNER! BEST ANIMATED FEATURE- 54 GOLDEN HORSE AWARDS

Opens theatrically in New York on Friday, January 26 with a national release to follow

Filmmaker Liu Jian cements his place as a pioneering force in independent Chinese animation with whirlwind neo-noir HAVE A NICE DAY.

A hard rain is about to fall on a small town in Southern China.


In a desperate attempt to find money to save his fiancée's failed plastic surgery, Xiao Zhang, a humble driver, steals a bag containing 1 million Yuan from his boss.

News of the robbery spreads fast within the town and, over the course of one night, everyone starts looking for Xiao Zhang and his money...

This deserves to be an animation arthouse hit to equal “Waltz With Bashir”, and it was the most politically trenchant and artistically fresh thing in Berlin. With the surface of a Tarantino-esque pulp thriller and the heart of a postmodern political art project.” – The Guardian
