Money Has Four Legs
New York Asian Film Festival 2021
August 6 - 22, 2021
A young director struggles to complete his first feature despite resistance on all sides in this gleefully inventive satire of the creative process.
Money Has Four Legs is available in the FLC Virtual Cinema beginning August 12. Get tickets here.
Gritty indie filmmaking becomes a sardonic metaphor for fate and corruption in this rousing satire of the creative process. A young director is determined to complete his first feature despite resistance from censors, slimy producers, and even his own cast and crew. One comic mishap after another ensues until his own life hilariously mirrors the cops-and-robbers tale in his screenplay. This gleefully inventive film melds its local surroundings with fantastical elements of surprise, adventure, and visual flair, offering an illuminating street-level view of Myanmar.
