Rating: 6 out of 10
Plastic City is a film about a young man named Kirin (Joe Odagiri) dealing with the future of his knock-off business inherited from his adoptive father, Yuda (Anthony Wong), who is an aging dealer in faux merch, the kind you're inevitably buying on Canal St. in NYC.

Interesting and behind-the-scenes politics abound in this world of Chinese / Japanese society living in Brazilian society making for an identity politics mash-up tossed into a corrupt cop salad.
Plastic City is filmed from a cool distance dipped in warm tones uncommon for scenes set in the sometimes gritty indoor mall-ness of Sao Paolo. At times Brazil's seedy smuggling underbelly felt almost cozy, like a place you'd want...
