This is one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Of course I suspect that it was the director's intention to disturb the audience, so with that assumption in mind, the effort was a resounding success! I recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach (among other things it contains a clinically graphic depiction of an abortion) and an open mind.
The reality is that this film is not a horror film, nor does it qualify as a thriller either. Its not a mystery certainly. Theres not any gore. No real shock value either compared to most truly shocking films I have seen. I dont really see much about this movie that should earn it any praise at all in fact. I think however they should have chosen a different title like Love and Cannibalism or maybe Sex and human flesh. Though well produced, its simply a sicko story about a woman who wants to look younger than she really is, and resorts to cannibalism to become more youthful after she learns of a retired doctor who has found the fountain of youth by consuming the flesh of aborted fetuses. The movie is not all that creepy like others have claimed, nor is it the least bit scary or horrifying. Its simply a well made chinese movie that doesnt have much to appreciate considering many other truly great films to come out of China over the past 30 years. This move isnt exactly worthless, but beyond some stylish film making there simply isnt much else to expect from this rather dull film.
