The fabulous Mui – young mother, insatiable nymphomaniac and perennial prostitute with a vagina that will soon be declared a World Heritage Site – is living on a boat in the Hong Kong harbour with her three “husbands”, gazing dumbstruck towards an uncertain future. Crazy times bring crazy films: Hong Kong’s cult director Fruit Chan’s bizarre, politically charged, brilliantly staged satire and allegory on the situation of his hometown has cast waves of enthusiasm – as well as indignation. The film recently won Best Film and Best Director at the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards and was nominated for three Asian Film Awards.
