"Temptress Moon'' is a hard movie to follow--so hard, that at some point you may be tempted to abandon the effort and simply enjoy the elegant visuals by the Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who mirrors the labyrinthine story with his treatment of city streets and shadowed corridors, all circling back upon themselves.

Temptress Moon is by no means a romance. The movie succeeds in being lyrical and melancholy - more engrossing than entertaining. Despite the requisite tragic ending, I found the plot to be oddly satisfying! The waxing and waning fates of Zhongliang, Ruyi, and Duanwu intertwined to create a luminous study of the heart and its insatiable hunger.

Jun 1, 1997 · Sensuously photographed, the movie is visually catching, but its plot and its characters are much too lost in their own deviant lives to be enjoyable. TEMPTRESS MOON paints a scenario of broken lives woven into a smoky, drawn-out melodrama. The movie does not get its teeth into the heart of the matter and does not draw moral boundaries.
