Quick Takes:Viva Erotica
All Content Used With Permission.
What a funny little film! An "arthouse" film about an "arthouse" film. An out-of-work art-film director (Leslie Cheung) sets aside his moral qualms and face financial reality. He agrees to make a porno film, and tries to incorporate his artistic touches to it. Hsu Chi, as always was great as the leading lady in Leslie's film. With all that make-up, I didn't recognize her at first. I think this was one of her first movies, and she does not disappoint (even if you're not watching this movie to see her get naked!). Viva Erotica tightly defines its characters, especially Leslie and his girlfriend (Karen Mok). Although this movie has "arthouse" written all over it with sometimes excessive symbolism, it is funny and easy enough to understand for mainstream enjoyment. Recommended.
