Reviews
Alicia I love this movie so much
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
im_your_cuddler8 The movie is about Jan Dara, telling his childhood to manhood experiences under the roof of his own home. The cruelty of his father that lead him to hate him more as he grows old. Jan Dara's sexual experiences from her sister's nanny, mistress of his father who taught him well as the story progress. This movie is well told, superb cinematography!, excellent performance from the main characters in the movie. I must say that the flow of the story is well defined unlike the usual foreign movies I've seen. The so-called "erotic scenes" are subtle yet the passion is can be seen and felt. Gonna give this rate of 10 as the highest! worth it! never mind those critics who keep on saying that this movie is a crap! Well...I beg to disagree! Watch this, and find out for yourself...Bye.
Gordon-11 This film was very controversial when it was released in Hong Kong. Not only was it the first movie which Christy Chung's (who is very famous in Hong Kong) first erotic film, it also supposedly starred a 15 year old teenage man. Later the age issue was cleared up and the guy was actually 17 when he made the film.Anyway, back to the film. It was a story which had a bit of everything. Family tension, love, aggressiveness, revenge, rape, hatred. This is not just erotica, but in fact a tragic story of a man's childhood. I thought the acting was good. The father's anger, the sister's aggressiveness were portrayed beautifully. The scene when Jan Dara rubbed onto the Night Mistress' breast was hilarious!If you are not disturbed by the complicated sexual relationships in the film then this movie is enjoyable. It gives the audience something to think about, especially raising the awareness of the public towards the rape victims.
tim777ca The silly story is aimed at X-rate audiences, with phony "arty" treatment. The film has neither depth nor characterization. Everybody in the movie is doing hanky-panky without closing their doors, yet you don't see anything exciting. Emmanuelle series are a lot better. Save both your money and energy!
wombat-18 Rapes , incests , and of course curses, a boring and mentally unhealthy story about a series of love affairs under the same two roofs , it's in Thailand but you won't see much of the country and culture here... of course there are sex scenes but these are of course also boring
