Moods Of Love - 1976 - 6/10
AKA - Feng Hua Xue Yue // 风花雪月

The newly appointed magistrate tours temples in his region.
Saving Shui Yue Temple for last, since it is led by a living Buddha.
Jealous, he decides to soil the priest with a sexual scandal.
First, and weaker, of a risqué Shaw Bros. two-parter.

The second concerns the wily Madam Fox, skilled in turning girls into prostitutes.
A shameless, ruthless exploiter who lies, bullies, threatens. Whores and male clients.
(Madam Fox sells one girl three times as a spotless virgin.)
Lotus River is the crowded lane, from brothels to teahouses to cramped flop rooms.
Where girls cajole, coax, and peddle the pleasures of the pink palace.

A sleazy tale, beautifully shot, of karma and cheap vengeance.
Three of the Taiwan “sirens” are on display, wearing easily shredded clothes.
