A
visually stunning yet wildly erratic film that tells the story of a
naive virgin boy named Tsuei Chun Nan who accompanies a troupe of vagabonds
on their journey to Luoyang, the capitol of the Tang Dynasty. Along
the way, they have unusual adventures in various monasteries(where they
learn, among other things, the unhappy plight of the emperor's eunuchs)
and young Tsuei's vision of sexuality becomes rather unconventional
as he becomes more comfortable with his companion Kuo Feng Lo.
This
is an uneven erotic fantasy that refuses to follow conventional rules
of narration. Director Chiu Kang Chien (sometimes using the pseudonym
Peggy Chiu) was primarily a scriptwriter for Shaw Bros Studios, penning
40+ movies in the '70 and '80s. He directed only three films with limited
success. He is also featured in this project as the Eunuch priest. Mr
Chiu Kang Chien died in November 2013 at the age of 73.
