Premise
In colonial Vietnam, a French lady learns some hardcore love from a Vietnamese businessman.

Who should watch
Jane March fans.

Thoughts
Horrible movie. Allegedly, the plot was about race and colonialism etc. But that was a lame excuse for interracial sex scenes. How bad was the story? The business man creeps his hand on hers and they instantly fall in love. I should try that sometime in real life.

As for the gratuitous sex scenes, they went from unintentionally funny, to arousing, to creepy. I am sure Jane March was legal, but the story presented her as a 15 year old.

What made this experience worse for me was because my French film teacher made us watch this as a social commentary film.

What I would change
Not bothered making such garbage.
