Hong Kong Trilogy: Preschooled Preoccupied Preposterous (Hoeng gong saam bou kuk) (2015) 9/22

HONG KONG TRILOGY vexes me.

A film unlike any other by director Christopher Doyle it is unlike any film I've ever seen Hong Kong. It is a mix of documentary and fiction described in the press materials as follows:

In three docufiction segments, Doyle looks at three generations of Hong Kongers: School children, young “Umbrella Movement” activists, and the elderly. Overlaying audio from interview recordings onto loose narrative vignettes, Doyle creates sweet, richly textured, free-flowing portraits of a bevy of unforgettable characters, here just in time for the Umbrella Movement’s anniversary.

Which states it perfectly.

Unfortunately I am not sure that the film works.

Because it seems the story was cut from the footage shot a great deal of it doesn't hang together. You great a great image with a perfect voice over but at the same time going past the moment things don't quite work. Characters like the cute little girl in red is absolutely adorable but some of what she does just sort of there. Other characters never amount to much.

The pacing is also off  with the first third being a tough slog.

The more interesting part of the film is the middle section on the Umbrella Movement. Owing to Doyle's eye and skill as a cinematographer we see life on the street in ways that the major news sources in the West never  revealed. There is much in this middle section to delight audiences and it's good enough and informative enough that despite by strong reservations I'd recommend the film.

Actually since the film is by Christopher Doyle I'd recommend it with or without reservations. This is not idle worship of a director, rather its the respect for a master who makes films that are frequently imperfect but which contain so much intriguing material that they can not be dismissed. Give me a Doyle directed (or photographed) film over almost any other directors any day. He may make a film that doesn't work but it will be one that you can't shake and can't not think about for days. In point of fact Doyle is one the greatest directors working today and we simply do not have enough films from him.

HONG KONG TRILOGY opens Friday for a week long run at NYC's Metrograph.
