Three young patients escape from a mental institution and embark on a surreal journey along a forbidden wall, searching for freedom and meaning at the edge of the world. Blending dreamlike imagery, haunting music, and raw emotion, Shunji Iwai’s Picnic is a cult classic of Japanese cinema rarely seen on the big screen.
