Made in Hong Kong is a work about disenfrachisement, aloofness and alienation of the youth
The Longest Summer is about discarding old guards of the British system and absorption into the crazy laissez faire world of China and it's a great heist movie to boot
haven't seen the third one

Put both on my list.
Also, just watched 'Enter The Void', and was disappointed. I mean, the visuals were truly amazing, and the story was kind of put together ok. Problem was, the story was so simplistic, and I felt the beating over the head with 3 hours of Freudian "leaving mother, leaving innocence" metaphors was a bit excessive. Could have been easily half the length without the bizarre psychedelic porn, and scenes that seemed to establish points made 80 times earlier.
Essentially, a potentially great file destroyed by it's insanely pretentious excesses.
