Feat. Leslie Cheung

Aroview: The first of a marvellous trilogy of outrageous fantasies set in Ming Dynasty-era China, in which student Leslie Cheung falls in love with an apparition and unleashes a horde of unsavoury demons.

Gorgeous photography and costumes melding with jaw-dropping effects and spiky humour earned this breakout success for the Hong Kong film industry.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) The first half of the film is better than the second when the story seems to tread water and gets caught up in its own special effects (which are terrific). The two romantic leads worked well together. ~Tubbs
