Rarely since the brooding noir films of the 1940s has a leading man been so captivating as in Last Time I Saw Macao, a 2013 cult favorite in which an unseen narrator returns to his childhood home of Macao to track down a friend who has fallen into dangerous company.

In this former colony, the nameless main character rediscovers a "Las Vegas of the East" where nothing is as it seems. A seductive adventure suddenly becomes a love song to the city; though it tells a gripping story, the film's true accomplishment is a new breath of life into the craft of storytelling.
