Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and anyone who enjoys a good scare. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 41 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Sensual Pleasures features a collection of three, ghost story, sexual vignettes starring a viscerally sensual trio of hardcore experience with the well endowed Chen Ping, Chinese adult film legend Shirley Yu and the innocent doe-eyed Shaw Yin-yin.
