Yu Pui Tsuen II

FantasyRomance
Before Michael Mak’s Sex And Zen became a cult favourite in the ’90s, there was Ho Fan’s Yu Pui Tsuen (The Carnal Prayer Mat, 1987). But without sex bomb Amy Yip, coarse humour or lesbian love affairs, Yu Pui Tsuen had to rely on the nudity and sex from his cast of relative unknowns to save the day. When a young man dreams that he drowns after a night of carnal passion, he asks a buddhist monk to translate the experience for him. The monk replies that the dream is a warning not to indulge the pleasures of the flesh to excess, but the man ignores his advice, marrying a virgin and making love to her constantly. However, after several torrid affairs, the man begins to realise the sagacity of the monk's warning.

To elaborate, decent performances, though nothing groundbreaking. Decent enough if you've got nothing else on the list. …

I struggled to finish this one. On that note, solid direction that occasionally loses focus. …

So yeah, it's hard to decide how to feel about this. Okay so the pacing could have been tighter. That much is clear.

To elaborate, the lead actor delivers a career-best portrayal. A beautifully crafted narrative that stays with you. Already planning a rewatch.
