The wonderful Hou Hsiao-hsien has executive produced an intriguing and addictive anthology series. What is our relationship with death? A strange, nursery rhyme monkey puppet haunts each episode, weaving them together with a thread of irony.

An HBO anthology series produced by Hou Hsiao Hsien, master of the Taiwanese New Wave? The result is as successful as we could have hoped. A curious monkey puppet appears in each episode, questioning our relationship with death and our own cowardice. Alternating between contemplation and moments of drama, the story develops in a very free and singular way, oscillating between darkness and comedy. And if each episode is self-contained, invisible threads link them to the other. It is up to each of us to find the meaning of this delightful puzzle before the final denouement.
