Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The Hui Brothers pioneered 'mo lei tau' absurdism that defined 1990s Hong Kong pop culture, but this doc reveals their roots in biting social satire.

Trivia

Michael Hui reportedly refused to participate directly, making this tribute entirely secondhand — which arguably makes the filmmakers' praise more revealing.
