YesAsia Editorial Description

Gorgeous Joey Wang delivers a stunning performance in The Re-incarnation Of Golden Lotus, an art-house drama directed by Clara Law. Joey Wang is the famed Golden Lotus, a courtesan in Ancient China who suffered a tragic fate. But the Golden Lotus is blessed with reincarnation, which places her in modern times, just prior to the Cultural Revolution. The Golden Lotus is given the chance to gain revenge on the reincarnated forms of the men who wronged her, but the Cultural Revolution presents its own problems for the unfortunate woman. The Golden Lotus is labeled an anti-revolutionary, and her tragic circle of fate continues. Shifting seamlessly between past and present time periods, The Re-incarnation of Golden Lotus is an artful, erotic adaptation of a classic Chinese tale that takes on a new life when transposed to present times. Co-starring Wilson Lam Chun Yin and Eric Tsang Chi Wai.

A Joey Wang classic Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Before she is to be reincarnated, in order that she not bring into her new life past loves and hatreds, Golden Lotus (Joey Wang) is asked to drink three cups of a memory-erasing potion. She refuses to do so, swearing revenge against those who have wronged her. The reborn Lotus is a dance student during the Cultural Revolution era, when she witnesses the burning of the "Jin Ping Mei", the book that describes her former life as an ill-fated concubine. As she matures, she draws the unwanted attention of the school's master, then is thrown out of school when she is accused of stealing a pair of athletic shoes that she gives to the boy she loves (Wilson Lam).

Ten years later Golden Lotus is selling fruit along the roadside outside of Guangzhou, when tourist Wu Da (Eric Tsang) meets her and falls head over heels in love with her. Soon he is buying her expensive gifts, but the air conditioner he buys her short-circuits the electricity to her village, drawing the wrath of her jealous neighbors. Wishing to escape her meager surroundings, she agrees to marry Wu, although she has no feelings for him. However, when she arrives in his Hong Kong home she soon draws the ire of her in-laws, who consider her a golddigging interloper. Coincidentally, her chauffeur in Hong Kong turns out to be the boy she loved in her schooldays. Out of loyalty to his employer (Wu and the chauffeur grew up together in Shantou), the chauffeur rejects the advances of Lotus. Feeling dejected and hopeless, Lotus soon winds up in the bed of a degenerate photographer, with consequences that threaten to blow her marriage apart.

Through a series of flashbacks, we learn that these events mirror the same tragic circumstances that ruined Golden Lotus's former life. Can she avoid the same fate and instead find true love? Joey Wang looks gorgeous and gives one of her best performances in "The Reincarnation of Golden Lotus". This is a dense, multi-layered story; I enjoyed it the first time I viewed it and found it even more engrossing when I watched it again and could better understand the parallels between Lotus's contemporary and past lives. Given its occasionally lurid content, this movie should be restricted to mature audiences.
