Life Is Cheap But Toilet Paper Is Expensive (Limited Edition) [Blu-ray] [UK]

Release Date: 21/7/2025

Exploding a seemingly simple premise – a nameless "cowboy" courier (Spencer Nakasako) arrives in pre-Handover Hong Kong to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a mercurial Mob boss whilst becoming entangled with his femme fatale mistress (Cora Miao) – 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 humour and one of the richest visual palettes of the 1990s.
