Honey PuPu is one of the most singular works to come out of Asia in quite some time. Its take on the modern world is fiercely original and, by employing a dizzying array of different formats and techniques, it seeks to recount its philosophical and energetic tale of how people’s identities are shaped and disrupted by the world’s aggressive virtualization. Chen Hung-i’s film combines gorgeous and whimsical cinematography with other techniques such as a futuristic platform for social media, photography and a veritable bounty of editing techniques. It features a terrific soundtrack, quickly oscillating between classical pieces and modern electro music, and is a film unlike any other.
Vicky is a radio hostess who is searching for her lover who has disappeared. She seeks the help of a number of young people she has encountered through social media with monikers like Cola, Assassin, Money and Playing. They are all lost souls, seeking answers through the hyperkinetic communication networks of the modern world.
