What to do if you happen to stumble upon a crow, who is really dead.
The film begins and ends in a shopping centre in Hong Kong. We carefully observe the smooth movement of the escalators, the constant flow of people that never stops, the musical fountain that presides over the centre of the internal courtyard, as if this gigantic complex could concentrate the circulation of the entire city, or even, the entire country. From there, it will be more a tale about concrete, enormous port warehouses, glazed galleries built for the 2010 universal exhibition, overpopulated tower blocks, the fragments of still recent colonialism...

There's never a dull moment in this documentary, and even if you've seen plenty like them (you have), it doesn't make it any less engaging or charming. Highly recommended.
