Are we really so far from a madhouse?
Li Hongqi
Release year: 2010
Run time: 86 minutes

Synopsis
Ostensibly a documentary or a music video chronicling influential post-punk Chinese group P.K. 14’s first national tour, Li Hongqi’s latest provocation becomes a rumination on existential ennui that takes place on endless highways as band members sit in their tour bus and anonymous hotels.
