Taiwanese director
Lien Yi-Chi brings an air of subtlety to this controversial lesbian thriller
that mixes multiple layers into its psychological complexity. Here is
a film that defies a moniker. It's a combination mystery, ghost story,
lesbian romance simmering in a frothy lurid texture. Simply, it all boils
down to 'loving too much or not loving enough.'
This award winning
film revolves around the life of a cadaver-cosmetician as she probes into
the death of her lesbian lover. Min-Hsiu
is an introverted mortuary technician, more at ease with the dead than
the living. Miss Hsien won Taiwan's best actress award for her remarkable
portrayal.
