Fool Night
Living... there isn’t a single thing fun about it.
On Netflix
A philosophically dense, visually strange meditation on suicide and transcendence, framed as a choice between human suffering and botanical transformation.
In a dark world full of despair, he chooses the path of transforming into a Spirit Flower — a plant into which humans transform. Should he continue living as a person, or discard his pain and start a new life as a plant? Which path would you choose in his situation?
