Yuri N It's a good-looking movie that has art and culture. Bathing music and falling lotus flowers It's a worthwhile movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review x s Pretty good fairytale romantic movie but the early 90s special effects look hilariously dated now. Maggie Cheung is great as the naive yet seductive title character exploring human sexuality. The pacing of the fight scenes also feels weird compared to modern movies but the tragic ending is classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretentious Power Rangers. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely riveting. Profound and beautiful film that is also fun to watch. I don't know why this hasn't won a ton of rewards and recognition. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I find it a bit of a shame that this unfocused cover makes the film look like second rate B-movie when it is not. It bears Tsui's handwriting that can be seen in other works such as the Chinese Ghost Story series or A Terra-Cotta Warrior. The visuals are colourful and beautiful to the point of traditional Chinese art. The lead actresses Wang and Cheung deliver a great performance being cheeky temptresses but also vulnerable despite their power. On top of that there is an epic traditional music score. All that easily lets you forget that some of the visual effects have not aged very well and look awfully dated. The only thing that bothered me was the hectic editing, which even seemed to skip important bits and which made the this version look like the rough cut rather than a finished release. All in all though a visually and emotionally powerful experience that I would highly recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member overcomes what some might see as cheap histrionics and cheesy effects with pure emotion, helped greatly by maggie cheung's performance and the lovely score. a gorgeous gorgeous film that deserves a magnificent bluray release!
