An International
award-winner, but this movie was virtually ignored in the United States
(due to the inhibiting NC-17 rating for the VERY racy sex scenes). From
the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback
Mountain" here's the lusty story of war-threatened Hong Kong in 1938
and Japanese-occupied Shanghai in 1942 as seen through the eyes of a group
of young Chinese resistance fighters.
