三级片：香港剥削电影不为人知的故事

Until the end of the nineties, the Hong Kong cinema that explored the limits of sex and violence without shame was labeled "category III". Calum Waddell's new documentary, an exhaustive investigator of the mysteries of genre film, is immersed, through interviews and archival images, in one of the most wild and exciting popular film cycles.An insightful look at the history of Hong Kong's exploitation cinema, from the early days of the Shaw Brothers and such shockers as "Killer Snakes" through to the advent of the Category III rating in 1988 and then the June 4th massacre in Beijing. The latter led to a panic in Hong Kong, before the Handover of the former UK colony to Mainland China, and a number of motion pictures proceeded to take freedom of speech (and sometimes political symbolism) to the extreme. This is the story of one of the most curious and invigorating periods in exploitation filmmaking.
