Résumé:
Exploding a seemingly simple premise - a nameless "cowboy" courier arrives in pre-Handover Hong Kong to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a mercurial Mob boss whilst becoming entangled with his femme fatale mistress. Independent filmmaking legend Wayne Wang's LIFE IS CHEAP...BUT TOILET PAPER IS EXPENSIVE barrels through inspired genre deconstruction, guerrilla docu-fiction and fierce political jeremiad, all with a keen sense of humor and one of the richest visual palettes of the 1990s.
