A Chinese Torture Chamber Story

Gentle eroticism, wild sex, physical violence and a lot of humour, all dressed up in comedic and fantasy garb. Each character has a distinct nature and plays a clear role throughout the story, which is about an effort to prove innocence before the sentence is carried out. By Chinese standards, this is a perfectly normal, mainstream story about forbidden love that looks at sex with humor, at physical punishment with perverse pleasure and at romantic love with picturesque poetry. By our standards, it is very exotic entertainment and mandatory viewing for all fans of Chinese culture. You have seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but you surely don’t know that you can also have wild sex while flying between tree branches. (01/29/2003)

"Mun ching sap daai huk ying" looks like a historical film, but it's just a beautiful disguise because in reality, it's a multi-genre pop culture work that demonstrates, once again, that it's possible to combine all possible elements and still create something meaningful, holds it together, and is also entertaining. Comedy is comedy when the audience is having fun, and in this case, I had fun in some places. (09/29/2014)
