Tsui drags us into a rather vivacious fantasy world. The characters arrive amidst a catastrophe, guiding us on a playfully erotic journey that’s based mischievously on a Chinese Folk tale. Take into consideration an overzealous Monk, and two twin phantasmagoria muses -Xiao Qing the Green Snake, and Bai Suzhen the White Snake -who had been training for centuries to take on human form. Embracing a realized mortal realm takes a lot of practice. But when one sister deceives the other in order to infiltrate her romance, things get…sticky. If you’ve been slain by HAUSU or SWEET MOVIE, then GREEN SNAKE should be next on your list. A surreal and not to be missed adaptation of Lilian Lee’s lucid novel (by the same title).
