My brush, my lover's body

All of Peter Greenaway's films have weird and bizarre plots, such as his "Chef, Thief, His Wife and Her Lover", and I read the pillow book because of my favorite Ewan McGregor. I don't understand if this movie is very erotic, there are not many sources, there is one on verycd. I didn't quite understand it at first, because the director used a picture-in-picture method, and slowly understood that it is the overlap of different scenes in different time and space, and they are inextricably linked.
The whole film is full of oriental flavor. In my opinion, this is the perfect combination of human body and calligraphy. I never knew that calligraphy can be so full of sensuality, and the flesh can be so elegant. Brush and paper are like men and women. The scent of the paper is like the smell of the skin. The male brush touches the skin, and the woman is only the recipient of body calligraphy. Perhaps only when a woman becomes a pen can she completely escape the suppression of patriarchy.
"When God first used clay to create people, he also painted glasses, lips, and sexual characteristics... If you are satisfied with your own work, write your own name."
Nuozi, who has always regarded body calligraphy as true calligraphy, imitated the Japanese court maid Kiyoshina Say, I want to write my own pillow. She set fire to leave her husband's house and started living independently, looking for an ideal calligraphy lover. She kept letting people write on her body, enjoying the fun of body calligraphy.
Finally she started to pick up a brush and write on the man's body, "From then on, not only a pen, but also paper", but the publisher refused to publish her work. At the publisher, she met Xie Lang, the publisher's bisexual lover, and the two began to get together and write on each other's bodies. Xie Lang understands six languages. He writes on Nuozi's body, German on shoes, French in stockings, Hebrew in gloves, Italian in hat... Xie Lang writes on her face, as if it was a birthday when she was a child Nuozi's father dipped in red paint with a brush and wrote blessings on her face.
Nuozi wrote the first chapter of a 13-volume book on Xie Lang. The publisher couldn't put it down and took Xie Lang home to have sex. Nuozi couldn't find Xie Lang at home. Nuozi's jealousy made her give up her relationship with Xie Lang, so she wrote the scroll of innocence, the scroll of idiots, the scroll of incompetence, and the scroll of exposure on other male bodies, which the publishers admired greatly. However, Xie Lang died for the loss of Nuozi's love. Nuozi was distraught and wrote the sixth volume of the lover's scroll on the dead Xie Lang. The publisher dug up the grave and peeled off Xie Lang's human skin. Framed into a book. Nuozi wrote the seventh volume of Love Selection, intending to exchange the human skin pillows in the hands of the publisher, and then wrote the eighth volume of youth, the ninth volume of secrets, and the tenth volume of silence on different male bodies. The publisher gradually became obsessed with the volume, the eleventh volume for sale, and the volume twelfth beginning volume. When he saw the thirteenth volume of the executed, he finally voluntarily surrendered his life.
It turned out that the publisher had threatened to humiliate Nuozi’s father, and now he has blasphemed on the body of Nuozi’s lover. Nuozi is avenging the man who loves her. Nuozi finally took back the human skin pillow and gave birth to her and Xie Lang. child.
On her 28th birthday, Nuozi buried the human skin pillows under the plum blossoms. On this day, Qingshao Nayan's pillows was exactly 1,000 years old, and Nuozi also began to write about her pillows, her life, and to the people she loves most. Memories of... Since then, Nuozi has also completely changed from paper to pen, completely mastering his own life.

My writing brush, lover's body... Such an elegant and sacred

    The skin is the intermediary between the inside and the outside, and the boundary between people. A woman grows from being a writer at the beginning to a writer, and then to a publisher with higher revenge power. The Shuangwen-style class leap of fighting monsters and advancing is also very magical. This kind of calligraphy/power is also ephemeral, and it will say goodbye as soon as it rains. Only the vitality of the skin itself follows human life, an eternal existence from death and birth (especially women can continue through offspring). The wonderful "picture-in-picture" segmentation is also writing on the screen as a skin. #Cinema as Skin

    First of all, I don't know why this movie is rated so low. So much so that I didn't decide to watch it until today. After watching it, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Lots of beautiful shots. Although a lot of nudity, but by no means erotic. Even I don't think there is anything related to the love between men and women. It is sentient beings, but it is the persistence of self. And constantly digging into the inner world. Unexplainable "should" in the past and ideal
