Seven wins and 11 nominations? That headline might have been rewritten as "most creative ways to have sex". I think I've seen most if not all of Fruit Chan's other films, and while he is undoubtedly a famous, talented, and creative director, this effort was really over the top. I'm not so certain Mui was really enjoying her work, but am certain I will never look at a prosthetic arm, an eel, or a papaya in the same way ever again. Somehow this lurched from one event to the next, but I will say it captured Aberdeen and Tai O's raunchy flavours neatly. The subtitles were absolutely brilliant and captured the vernacular perfectly.
