Renowned cinematographer and artist Christopher Doyle celebrates Hong Kong and its people with his latest film Hong Kong Trilogy: Preschooled Preoccupied Preposterous, a semi-fictional documentary divided into three parts that focus on Hong Kong residents in their childhood, youth, and old age. In Doyle's special form of cinematic narrative, real people improvise fictive scenes inspired by their own stories, which we hear in voiceover. The film's many endearing characters are all portrayed with rare grace: kids interrogating themselves on the topic of world religion, young rappers and artists giving voice to their discontent in underground music bars, and senior citizens going on speed-dating tours of the city.
