Features: My films are not pornographic, but they are full of sensuality. Sex is a celebration, a joyful game. I can’t help but express sex; I have always been obsessed with portraying sex and violence as my themes. I could have made them very pornographic, but I’m not interested in that at all. In Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas were no longer ordinary actors—they were practically a perfect dance pair. In The Lover, the filming of the emotional scenes lasted for two years. The performance of Hong Kong actor Tony Leung was very successful, but I’d rather emphasize that the 17-year-old British girl Jane March’s sensuality and maturity in the film surprised me. I also used some small tricks to make her scenes more realistic and vivid. For example, I often made her run before filming so she would appear breathless; or I would rub her cheeks to make her blush with shyness. World’s Best Erotic Films: A Critical Appreciation selects one hundred world-class erotic films, viewing human eroticism from the perspectives of philosophy and anthropology, recreating the diversity of human nature since the birth of cinema. It has a high aesthetic value and is the most authoritative monograph on art film appreciation to date.
Film Novel: With prose-poetic brushstrokes, it balances absolute details with extraordinary plots. Using a sensual language, it delicately portrays the romantic or poignant life of cinema for you.
Work Analysis: Critics, with a solid foundation in film theory and a unique aesthetic perspective, engage in one hundred conversations with you about film art and human emotions in a down-to-earth tone.
Images: A feast for the eyes (screen captures + celebrity photos + behind-the-scenes photos). This is the other clear and powerful voice this book offers beyond the textual content.
Film Archives: One hundred posters of one hundred erotic films (original title, best translation, alternative translations, release date, country, director, cast, awards).
Star Rating: Critics provide a concise yet humorous summary of the film from five aspects—performance, visuals, story, direction, and watchability. This is the most authoritative evaluation of the film’s overall strength.
