Temptress Moon (1996)
(Fengyue)
Country: HK/CHI
Technical: col 116m
Director: Chen Kaige
Cast: Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, Kevin Lin
Synopsis:
An orphan boy's life, and those of his adoptive family, are irrevocably affected when his brother-in-law takes him into his household to mix his opium pipe.
Review:
A heady brew of incest, drug-taking, adultery and twenties decadence in general; Kaige takes to his new palette with relish but the results, though onirically orchestrated in colour and headlong steadicam shots, are a shade overblown.
