The Road Not Taken

Synopsis:

The latest work from acclaimed filmmaker Peter Ho-Sun Chan is a polished and emotionally charged family drama that explores the horror of early-onset Alzheimer disease, as the boundaries of a once-familiar reality dissolve into an alien dimension that’s impossible to trust. Jia Jia (Zhou Xun) is a successful television host whose professional life appears completely under control even as her marriage to a wildlife conservationist is falling apart. When, during a public discussion about AI, she struggles to remember the term, calling it “artificial talent” instead, she blames work-related exhaustion. Soon, however, these lapses become increasingly disturbing.
