This is a silly, silly movie. It is no surprise, of course. Much Chinese Cinema from Hong Kong is over the top, bad Jerry Lewis type shtick. Chow Yun Fat and most Hong Kong actors paid for lunch making silliness while waiting to be discovered by serious directors.
The surprising part is Gong Li. It is excruciating to watch her obvious embarrassment being on camera with fools. She does her best to look dignified while the 'famous scholar' does Rap in traditional Chinese dynasty garb.
Story? Who cares? Anyway, it concerns a famous painter in ancient china who sees and falls in love with Gong Li. Gong Li loves the work of the painter, although for story purposes, the painter becomes a poet suddenly to make props easier to manage. He disguises himself as a pauper to become a worker in her household. The logic isn't there. Don't try. Lots of people throw up pus looking white slime every few minutes while Gong Li tries to look dignified. You get the picture.
Trying to collect all the work of Gong Li may necessitate that you own this and Chinese Box, another horrible film. Just put it on the shelf. Not too close to Jou Du, please.
