omnibus package of shorts by leading East Asian directors offers four takes on

play his fiancée for the benefit of his dying father. Tsai’s episode follows a
barefoot man moving through Hong Kong at a haunted pace. Gu centers on a candid
family conversation about pregnancies, wanted and unwanted. Hui empathizes with
a middle-aged office worker who has finally decided to act on his conviction
that he’s actually a woman.”
