Moderately interesting and handsomely photographed examination of homosexuality and its stigmatization in modern China. The central storytelling strategy -- a night-long interrogation, illustrated with flashbacks, of a flauntingly gay writer by a conflicted cop -- is stagnant and tiresome. The film has since been adapted for the stage, rather than the other way around. Directed by Zhang Yuan. (1996) — Duncan Shepherd
