asian cinema: east palace west palace
as far as i know, this is the first gay movie to come out of mainland china and it has never been screened there.
this movie captivated me from the first few minutes and kept me in it's tight grip to the very last image. stunningly intensive movie. truly amazing power play between the two main characters. and SO erotic. i was fully captivated and seduced by the main characters stories and voice and i can't remember that happening for quite a while. i can only imagine how much stronger the effect would have been if i would have been able to listen and understand his words instead of having to read the subtitles.
a stunning movie. i recommend to any (not too homophobic) viewer with a soft spot for bdsm power plays. only down side is that it might be really difficult to get your hands on a copy...
