YesAsia Editorial Description
Experience the majesty of Dreams of Eroticism, a sensual 1970s era Shaw Brothers
production that took an entire team of Shaw cinematographers, writers, and directors to
bring to the big screen! Released back in 1977, this highly erotic tale centers on the
residents of the Rong mansion and the sexual secrets that hide behind its closed doors!
The film kicks off when a man accidentally discovers a sexually suggestive pouch while exercising in the yard. Meanwhile, the servants and the maids are in a state of panic inside the house. It seems that the powerful Lady Concubine Xifeng (Shirley Yu Sha Li, from Crazy Sex and The Call Girls) has commanded that all the rooms in the Rong mansion be searched, especially the servants' quarters. And it is during this investigation that several surprising objects turn up in each of the maid's bedrooms. When a pair of men's shoes and a love letter are found in one room, the maid responsible is tortured until she finally agrees to tell her forbidden tale of love and sexual desire! And so begins one of the four stories that make up Dreams of Eroticism, a titillating film anthology in which the private sexual escapades of servants, concubines, and even royalty are explored in every sensual detail! Together, these four tales weave together a narrative full of sex, lies, and even death! Featuring acting performances from Si Wai (The Sexy Killer), Tin Ching (Mad Mad Mad Sword), Jennifer Lau Nga Ying, Goo Kwoon Ching (Descendant of the Sun), and Yu Yung, Dreams of Eroticism is a truly gorgeous film, full of elaborate costuming and set design. Without a doubt, it's a definite classic of the genre!

Dreams of Wet Chamber
|
DREAMS OF THE RED CHMABER (1977) This movie could have been titled "Dreams of the Wet Chamber". To me, it sounds more fun and closer to the Chinese title, literally translated to something like "Dreams of the Red SPRING Chamber". Here, to the best of my knowledge, "Spring" also has the metaphor meaning of "gay", "happy". Ah, you get the meaning! It is interesting to note that on the DVD cover of this film, "the entire Shaw Brothers Scenario Group", "Direction Group" and Cinematography Group" collaborate together to make one single exotic film". It doesn't say, however, who are the particular directors, but my uneducated guess would be either Li Han Hsiang or Chor Yuen (or both) must have been involved in the feature. The result is a very entertaining romp, but contains just enough drama elements to keep you interested. Considering the age of the movie, which was made more than a decade before a series of exploitation movies in the early 90s came out (Sex and Zen, Erotic Ghost Story), this is really something. This is certainly not high art, but for the especially male variety out there being interested in this type of thing, who cares? Strange things happen around the Rong Mansion. You'll know it as soon as the movie introduces us to one of the residents, Master Zhen, who performs some wacky taichi-like morning exercises in the backyard and accidentally stumbles upon a sewed pouch with a special kind of design that is very inappropriate for the kids. Back in the house, the maids and servants are running about, panicking over the fact that the First Lady Concubine Xifeng (played by Shirley Yu) is ordering the room search, and inevitably strange things are found on each of the female maid's bed. As it turns out, some raw cucumbers are hidden in one bed, and according to what the lady Xifeng and the old maid suggests, they're clearly not used for the make-up purposes, like preserving your skin or something. In another room, some hidden letter and a pair of male shoes are found from another maid's bed. After a series of serious beating, the maid Siqi begins to confess her sins. Not really her sins, since what's she telling us in flashbacks is not only how the story of her life began to unfold since she entered the Rong Mansion, but also managed to squezee in some human life lessons and more importantly, human sexual basic needs. This is only one of four short stories about both the servants and the concubines' (sexual) lives trapped in the filthy mansion The highlight of this movie is above all, the set design. Its quite obvious that the set had been built before for other films belonged exclusively to the Shaw studio. From the look of it, the closest movie that used the same setting would be, yes, Dreams of the Red Chamber (1977), the one starring young Brigitte Lin and Sylvia Chang. This is a good thing, though, because in such a light premise as this, no filmmakers would be so nuts as to investing so much budget for it. That said, the whole mise-en-scene looks absolutely gorgeous. From the backyard to every room of the house, everything looks very suitable for the period. For a movie like this, youve come to look at the ladies strutting their stuff, but chances youd be more inclined to stop and look back at the set designs. On the other hand, kudos should also be given to clothing designers, who managed to create some super-sexy costumes, especially some negligee that even a modern lady would not feel ashamed to wear them around the house! How about the ladies? Theyre supposed to be the most important part of the whole film, arent they? Yep, youre right. And again, the folks at Shaw really know how to select the right ladies, dress them right and put them in suitable roles (well, not so in the case of Liu Ya-Yings character, but then, who cares?). Im quite surprise that the whole female cast is rather unknown to me, apart from Shirley Yu, one of the Shaw sexpots (along side with Chen Ping, Hu Jin, Tina Ti |
