Many Undulating Things is an expansive and meditative film that traces Hong Kong's complex colonial history. The social and urban transformation of the cosmopolitan city is at the centre of this poetic documentary, which examines the relationships between landscape, nature, urbanisation and society. The film begins and ends in a Hong Kong shopping centre. From concrete, enormous port warehouses, glazed galleries built for universal exhibitions, overpopulated tower blocks, to the fragments of its colonial past, the film questions the role of cities in the globalised capitalist system.
