5.0

A surreal satire of racist Hollywood tropes that follows the protagonist's quest to move from Generic Asian Man to Kung Fu Guy in the cop drama Black and White, which films in the Chinese restaurant below his apartment. The script format is a brilliant choice, and within that limited medium Yu is able to create a story that is funny, emotional, and wholly original.
