The Seductive Politics of Aging and Desire in 'Diary of a Mad Old Man' Wayne Wang's latest film, "Diary of a Mad Old Man", premieres at the Toronto Film Festival with Fan Bingbing and Lily Franky starring.
On its surface, the movie appears to be a darkly comedic take on loneliness, perversity, and the search for human connection in old age.
But scratch beneath the skin, and you'll find a complex exploration of societal pressures that shape our desires as we grow older.
