TEMPTRESS MOON (1996)
CHEN KAIGE
Plot
A sumptuous but exhaustingly convoluted family saga from Farewell My Concubine director Chen Kaige. A tragic period love story set against a politically volatile background, the film follows the lives of three members of the ancient Pang family, a family thrown into turmoil by social upheaval and an opium addiction of epidemic proportions. Gorgeous to look at and a riveting melodrama.
