Tam wasn’t alone in turning slice-of-life stories of Hong Kong’s youth into stories of sliced-up-lives. They respond to their world not with anger or cruelty, but by looking cool and falling in love. But violence will come for them anyway. Go to Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry 07/23/2023
It’s a strange yet undeniably affecting film that serves as a prime example of everything exciting about the Hong Kong New Wave. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD 1d Bizarrely fluctuating between an exuberant reflection on young adult life in Hong Kong and a gory thriller, Nomad possesses an enchanting quality about it to the point it can be absorbingly disorientating. As a cornerstone of the Hong Kong New Wave, it remains provocative, melancholic and stylistically bold, but all comes together as an ultimately disorderly and chaotic experience. Nomad certainly drifts through the motions, losing sight of what it really wants to be. It feels kind of cruel to have watched this after My Heart is that Eternal Rose, but I was expecting more than a high-class soap opera. See more Read all reviews
