STORY

"Viva Erotica" is a comedy about an art film director who has been out of work for so long that he agrees to make a category 3 sex film just to make a living. Leslie Cheung plays the director and Law Ka Ying plays his producer. The triad boss who finances their film is played by Paul Chun Pui, who also played the uncle in "C'est La Vie, Mon Cherie" and the father in "Full Throttle". The film is excellently made and filled with so many great little touches and in-jokes that it would take pages to discuss them all. It will certainly reward repeated viewings. This film is absolutely hilarious! Without abandoning Yee's usual penchant for moral messages, the film reflects on the HK film industry and the plight of filmmakers fighting to survive. Rated III for nudity and adult content.
