Throughout, Christopher Doyle acknowledges that time and reality are often marked by a slippery subjectivity.
It’s all a curious humanist experiment with anecdotal surprises and whimsy, but its motives aren’t in sharp focus like Doyle’s hotshot imagery.
More of a poem or a city symphony than a documentary, it drifts freely, sometimes frustratingly between captured and fictionalized moments.
While Hong Kong Trilogy is ultimately an empty and unfocused misfire, it’s still rather watchable in its failure, thanks to Doyle’s remarkable visual approach.
