There have been many film versions of THE GOLDEN LOTUS, the most erotic novel in Chinese history, but none have combined artistry with sensuality as successfully as this 1974 classic. Director Li Han-hsiang, outdoes himself in this recounting of the sexual exploits of a Sung Dynasty lothario 900 years ago. He already has one wife and three concubines, but that doesn't stop him from coveting his neighbors' wives, nor from murdering and corrupting in order to conquer the objects of his desire.
