Three Husbands (Chinese: 三夫) is a 2018 Hong Kong film directed by Fruit Chan, starring Zeng Meihuizi and Peter Chan. It is the last instalment of his "Prostitute trilogy" which Chan directed from 2000 to 2018. The other two movies in the trilogy are Durian Durian (Qin Hailu as lead actress, 2000) and Hollywood Hong Kong (Zhou Xun as lead actress, 2001).[2][3][4] The three lead actresses starring in his "Prostitute trilogy" were nominated as Golden Horse Award for Best Leading Actress for their respective role in a film of the trilogy, and Qin Hailu won the award for her role in Durian Durian.
The film premiered at the 31st Tokyo International Film Festival on 26 October 2018.[5]
In her boldest performance yet, Zeng Meihuizi stars as a woman who lives on the sea with her three husbands. With an overactive libido, she heartily devotes herself to her work as a prostitute. As in the trilogy's two previous films, Chan uses the world's oldest profession to satirise the state of contemporary Hong Kong.
