About Life of Lai
Mr. Lai, an extra in a film, wakes up coughing on the set and gets notified he is going to play a dead body lying in a coffin. Teased by other background actors and mistreated by the film crew, he finds a perfect way to lie in the coffin.
Directed by Huang Chi-yung, Life of Lai leans on a strong ensemble — Akio Chen, Chen Ya Yu, Chrisfly Hu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
