This landmark Hong Kong erotic movie boldly goes where no Chinese movie went before - into the boudoir and even the monastery of a scholar turned Taoist nun turned literati (played by Patricia Ha in her most acclaimed role). Her pursuits of lust and love show that the Tang Dynasty was light years ahead of the West when it comes to sexual enlightenment. In addition, the sophisticated sets won the Golden Horse Award for Best Art Direction.
