Never mind that in portraying passion, the two seem to be demonstrating the proper use of the Salad Shooter.

The only moderately interesting scene here is a traditional Chinese wedding toward the end, which, of course, is cut short.

Scratch away the steamy, evocative surface, remove Jeanne Moreau's veteran-voiced narration, and you have only art-film banalities.

The worst part of the dialog is given to the writer. She has to say one pedantic line after another, and overall, the narrator's part is just too wordy.

Too bad that the film is marred by the vices of international productions, as it deals with issues seldom shown in American movies, such as the power of sexuality.
