Behind the scenes production

Director Dai Sijie has been preparing for the film for three years. Due to the sensitive theme, it has not become a co production of China and France. The director had to turn to Vietnam with a similar background. Dai Sijie had already gone to Vietnam to choose the location in 2003, but because of SARS, he had to postpone. After SARS, he couldn't find suitable actresses with the same temperament and schedule. From Maggie Cheung, Liu Ruoying to Zhou Xun, he finally locked in the mainland actress Li Xiaoran three years later, and the other heroine was Mirani jepanomi, a Chinese French hybrid.

Film evaluation

The film presents a beautiful, Oriental and even mysterious love story for the audience. The style is exquisite and beautiful, full of dense and mysterious atmosphere. The thick green, old and yellow colors, the Oriental women's bodies and the moist moisture everywhere construct the aesthetic style of the film. < I (film review)

The film tells the story of the closed age. The passion unfolded in the state of claustrophobia is naturally a pure flame, burning each other's sincere bodies. At the moment of self growth, women are faced with the mirror image of multiple personalities. They are the spokesmen of the weak, from the shy self recognition in front of the mirror, to the unrestrained galloping in the mirror, and then to the freedom outside the mirror. < I (Sina entertainment review)
