The novel itself is the first full length Chinese fictional work to depict. There is a rather touching scene with a small footed angel and this probably is worth it for the first half hour although overall it is a pretty shoddy affair that finally stops, with seeming clips from scenes that might have been intended to have been made. Based on the classic Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei, written during the Ming Dynasty. One particular scene is so shot it gives the appearance of being between two men, not presumably the intention. Very strange use of the, admittedly agile, shaven headed young lady who decides to leave the nunnery and take up with our hero. For the last third or so we resort to slapstick and general jokiness that virtually negates all the erotic content. We go from here to there, starting this, forgetting that and in the end getting completely stuck. Indeed the first half hour including more couplings with more wonderful looking ladies but then the film begins to loose its way. A fantastic opening, very lush with a great fleshy scene, involving acupuncture and death. For some reason, when purchasing this I thought I was buying some 70s classic just released on DVD but no this is brand new.
