Breakup Buddies

Still feeling the sting of a recent and tragic divorce, a former singer makes a bar voyage with his excessively-helping best friend in this absurdist, road trip comedy from China.

"Ning Hao broke Chinese box office records in 2006 with the black comedy Crazy Stone, a low-budget film with a cast of unknowns that featured brilliant dialogue, daring content and groundbreaking style. In his latest film, Breakup Buddies, Ning brings his one-of-a-kind, uproarious talent to a genre very dear to him: the road movie. A light-hearted spin on a serious theme — the search for real values in life — the film presents its protagonists' journey as a rite of passage and a cure for a wounded soul, but also as a vacation and an often-ridiculous adventure."
