The basic writer Su Tong's novel "the family of opium poppy".

Maple Village landlord Chen Cao become drug addicts, and crush the widow ma. Crush the young farmer Chen Mao Markov, and Chen Mao in the heavy grass arrangement, and seven Chiam too Cuihua borrow. Chen Mao between Markov and Cuihua is difficult to choose, can only choose to walk away......
It's very hard to find much sense on this film. There are long leisurely scenes which frequently jump-cut to other scenes with no connection.
The photography is superb, the film has an overall gorgeous look, and is a treat to watch. It appears to be an art film, with it's non-linear structure. However, it aso works well as erotica, with some lovely nudity and sex scenes.
The lack of sense combined with the sometimes gruesome subject matter creates an eerie feeling, which I found lingered long after.
Recommended.

A beautiful, erotic and sometimes disturbing film. The story set somewhere in the past is a bit hard to follow, but seems to be about young lovers who can never be together. Arty, gorgeously photographed with enough nudity and sex to hold the interest of the non-artistic.
