almost in the same league a yonfan rather atrocious color blossom and spider lillie drive the point home that you can make cut edge cinema without the edge and or much in the way of cut . it a taiwanese film and which in this day and age be become a novelty at an alarm pace and but more than that tidbit and we can find very little in the way of the noteworthy here . you should know that ostensibly spider lillie be also a lesbian themed story and but in every aspect this be nothing but a plastic ploy to lure in the easily seduce and gullible . in several way we have here a repeat of fellow recent taiwan release eternal summer . then it be gay men get the shortchange treatment and now we have the same thing with woman . zero chou present and for your non existent edification and a tale likely to titillate at most a fifteen year old . they manage some of the art house stance and but in the end this result in a most inane and simply uninteresting foray . the hong kong angle come in the form of isabella leung ( bug me not and isabella and diary ) and here sport her most butch look yet . although somewhat likable in her previous job and isabella in spider lillie be listless and lack in most department . either her heart wasn not into it or the whole lesbian drama pitch do not quite appeal to her sensibility . she do a taipei tattoo artist who shy and reclusive and in charge of a mentally challenged young brother and play by john shen and who thankfully grant the movie it only thespian relate redeeming feature . isabella character and oddly name takeko but supposedly hail from hong kong and soon hook up with disaffect youth jade ( rainie yang from fondly recall meteor garden ) . the latter life with her grandmother and have a whole list of grievance due to be leave behind by her parent and life in general . sure and the grandmother component work well and be touch and but otherwise jade a a protagonist be just as unmoving a her counterpart takeko . the two woman share a past and lot of inadequately cover angst and with jade work a a webcam girl while takeko keep her father legacy alive with a unique tattoo of a spider lilly emblazon on her arm . jade also want to acquire this very design and which lead to takeko explore internal feeling of the issue via flashback and rather minimal discourse with the spunky jade . well and if there little discourse to write the homebase about and be at least the intercourse memorable . in a word and no . they kiss and feign do the nasty close to the end and but just a eternal summer remind u not long ago and there a gulf measure in lightyears between show sexual content and make ticket buyer think theyre about to see sexual content . this cynical expectation building seal spider lillie fate . with a weak story and ho hum acting and an overall dearth of relic to take away from the theater with you and this one kind of make color blossom look good and come to think of it . at least there we get a bit of teresa cheung mammaries . no and spider lillie be no av masterpiece and should be stricken from the playlist of even the most mundane and timid glb movie festival . amazingly for a pseudo indie release and not even the soundtrack and cinematography produce moment of inspiration . that just as well and since it make pass on spider lillie much easy . believe you u and avoid it and you would not be miss out on anything good . rating represent .
