Upon Hatred

About This Movie

Upon Hatred digs into the raw and often uncomfortable space where anger festers. It paints a portrait of Mr. Wong, a restaurant owner whose mounting pressures push him towards a breaking point. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost claustrophobic, with long takes that mirror the suffocating tension of his life. Ka Yeung, the new employee, embodies the timid spirit crushed under the weight of Wong's frustration, and the performances are striking in their authenticity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence to speak volumes. There's an exploration of how anger can spiral, leaving viewers with a lingering discomfort. It's this blend of personal and social issues that gives the film its unique edge.
