A luckless Beijinger opens an adult shop to make ends meet, sparking a sexual revolution in his conservative neighborhood.
Written/directed by the Aussie-born, Beijing-residing Sam Voutas, it’s light-hearted rather than provocative, though the gag about the elderly customers’ love-making stamina is a bit of a flop.
Proving himself a fresh new voice in Asian cinema, director Sam Voutas offers a sex comedy salted with satirical comment on Chinese society.
A brave attempt to do something different. Revolution may not be entirely successful, but it is made with heart.
Not surprisingly, Voutas's inept movie has yet to find a Chinese distributor. Surprisingly, it has found one here.
