SKINOPSIS

Banned by Chinese censors for subversive political content, this film from director Ye Lou contains a surprising amount of sex & nudity.

3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM

  • Banned by the Chinese government...
  • definitely for its depictions of the student uprising at Tiananmen Square...
  • and possibly for the very graphic sex and nudity as well.
REVIEW
This romance set against the backdrop of both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the uprising at Tiananmen Square was banned by the Chinese government which is none-too-keen on bringing up that nasty little incident, but we suspect that even without the political content director Ye Lou would have gotten into trouble for the shockingly graphic sex and repeated scenes of vivid, occasionally full-frontal female nudity. The story follows a young girl from the provinces who goes to university and falls in love. Along the way, she stops by Berlin, sees the wall fall and winds up as one of the radicalized students who faced down the military in Tiananmen Square. Both Ling Hu and Lei Hao, both lust-inducing in their own ways, give up the titty and the poontang, and sometimes both at once.
