Metropolis of Fantasy
Metropolitan life can be boring and mundane but it is at the same time that only those living there can taste its unconventional bits and pieces. In Yip Man-hay’s The Food Fascists, culinary cuisine turns into a finger-licking good metaphor of social cruelty; Horizon is a magical realistic piece that takes a big leap into the universe to view the Earth.
