What AV Is About

Pang Ho-cheung’s 2005 Hong Kong film follows four university students about to graduate. To get near a Japanese adult film actress they admire, they construct an elaborate plan: invent a film project, apply for government funding, and hire her to appear in it. The film neither endorses the scheme nor condemns it; it plays the plan out to the end and lets the young men discover what they have actually missed. What is underneath is not pornography but the way a generation with no future in front of it goes about imagining one. Pang is among the distinctive Hong Kong directors who keep comedy and disappointment in the same frame.
