This is not a love story but it's a story about love! At the beginning, the heroine in the cell said this to the priest, and slowly told the story about her and her husband.
The remake version in 2001, in fact, I also watched the French film la sirène du Mississippi in 1969. I prefer the remake version, maybe it's a matter of personal preference. The French version was shot in the suspenseful way of Xizhi Pavilion, and this one is mainly based on plot description, so the scale is also relatively large, and it was also the selling point of the year. The male protagonist's wife also came to supervise the scene in person, which is too topical!
This is a story about love, that is, these two people fell in love later. However, the mastermind of "Xianrenjiao" refused to let the man go. The woman had to kill him and take all his remaining property, but the woman fell in love with him, so it was the mastermind who died in the end.
Two of my favorite scenes moved me too much. One is that the male protagonist sees the female protagonist again in Xiawanna. The female protagonist tells the truth, and the other is that the male protagonist drinks poisoned coffee after confessing his true feelings. Erotic scenes account for one-third of the film, not many but beautifully shot. I admit I'm a nerd, this scene is good but for Antonio banderas should I give it an extra star?
