A taste of something unusual.
Drealmer9 December 2018
This was so unusual and interesting. It was like free-flowing poetry, moving from verse to verse without definitive structure or unifying theme, but undeniably all part of the same piece centered on the subject (the amorous woman.) Excellent direction and compelling cinematography. It's definitely worth a re-watch. 6.3/10 on a first viewing.

Worth watching

This is a film made by the Shao Brothers, a very famous filming studio in HK in late twenth century. They made about 4000 erotic movies since around 1960. Their movies are a mixture of misogyny and patriarchy. In their movies, men dominated everything and their friendships are above everything. Women are just their source of sexual pleasure. The same thing applies to this film too.

Unlike European erotic movies, erotic movies in HK both feature soft porn and great storyline. Soft porn is based on an actual plot/storyline in HK erotic movies, while most European erotic films are just pornography. Most women don't do full frontal nudity in HK erotic movies, and you won't see explicit sex scenes. You must watch their erotic movies.
