In 2015, documentary filmmaker Huang Hsin Yao's acclaimed black-and-white short film The Great Buddha was crowned Best Short Film at the 2015 Taipei Film Festival. Two years later, the director expands the suspense story into his first narrative feature The Great Buddha+ . Produced and lensed by Chung Mong Hong, the film won five awards at the Golden Horse Film Awards, including Best New Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actor for Bamboo Chen. Mostly presented in black and white with select dashes of color, The Great Buddha+ weaves an unpredictable satire-laden black comedy of crime and misadventure. Pickle (Cres Chuang) barely makes ends meet working as a night-shift security guard at a bronze statue factory. He and his buddy Belly Button (Bamboo Chen), a recycling collector by day, pass the hours by flipping through adult magazines and watching TV in the security room. When the TV breaks down, the two decide to watch something else: their sleazy boss's (Leon Dai) salacious dash-cam footage. They accidentally come upon a dangerous secret that throws their lives into chaos and triggers a preposterous chain of events.
