RELEASE DATE: October 8, 2024
On October 8, 2024, 88 Films is releasing a Blu-ray (Region A/B) for Facets of Love, an erotic Shaw Brothers classic directed by Li Han-Hsiang (Hsi Shih Beauty of Beauties, The Enchanting Shadow, The Magnificent Concubine).
The film stars Lily Ho Li-Li (14 Amazons), Yueh Hua (The Water Margin), Hu Chin (The Ghost Story), Teresa Ha Ping (Lucky Stars Go Places), Cheng Kang-Yeh (Daggers 8), Su Hsiang (Men of the Hour) and Lydia Shum Tin-Ha (Tiger of Northland). There’s even a small early appearance from Jackie Chan!
A costume drama like no other, Facets of Love tells the stories of the Shanghai brothel in the early years of the 20th century: of its devious owners, of the unhappy innocents that have been tricked into toiling there and of the entitled men who visit, the ordinary and the illustrious.
A good deal saucier than the martial arts movies that its producers at Shaw Brothers studio are most famous for, Li Hsang-han’s film is a sensual indulgence, with beautiful design and photography. 88 Films are proud to present the Blu-ray premier of this sumptuous, decadent delight.
