Vulgaria is super fun for fans of Hong Kong Cinema and filmmaking in general, though it may remain esoteric to some. Pang Ho-Cheung's crass creativity makes up for the loose story and lack of sight gags, and Pang manages decent emotions too. Fluency in Cantonese is a must to get the full effect.
"Vulgaria" is a workplace comedy set in the world of moviemaking instead of the confines of an office. This fanciful if raunchy story from director and co-writer Pang Ho-Cheung ("Love in the Buff") centers on a struggling film producer who's juggling commitments to his ex-wife and daughter as he's attempting to get his next film together.
The film features a shady, pervy financier known as Tyrannosaurus and an actress referred to as Popping Candy because of a sex trick she does with a mouthful of Pop Rocks. Even amid the naughty flourishes, with "Vulgaria," Pang again shows himself to be a wise, playful chronicler of modern life.
