Good one Trevor. From what you're saying about raccoon dog testicles, it's probably just as well it's a female in the film! And Zhang Ziyi is very welcome. I really liked the film too- my favourite by Suzuki in fact. It's a different style from his 60's gangster films- his also recent Pistol Opera has similar theatricality, interesting sets and colours, and equally odd. Worthwhile comparison with Kwaidan, though this is much more eccentric. More like Kwaidan meets Wayward Cloud gaudy musical numbers, and more besides. Should get a cult following, ssential viewing.
