Content Summary: (Note: This movie contains bold scenes including real oral sex)! In the 1920s Shanghai, with a chaotic situation and quietly brewing revolution, Stephen arrives in Shanghai with a completely submissive French girl to experience the "crazy world and the power of love". In the brothel, prostitutes from various countries wear colorful and strange clothes, and in carefully designed tools and atmosphere, they satisfy customers' all kinds of bizarre sexual desires. Director Shuji Terayama's "Shanghai Foreign Prostitutes' House" is a film about sadomasochism. The movie is adapted from the French novel "The Story of O". Sadomasochism is related to Japanese male dominance. The high social status of men is also reflected in their sexual preferences, thus various strange forms of sadomasochism are born. Thinking of ways to torture each other physically and sexually to demonstrate the inviolable dignity of men. (This is a movie that attempts to differentiate between oral and vaginal sexual sensations.)
At the beginning and end of the film, a series of black-and-white photographs of late Qing China are displayed, showing city towers, shackled prisoners, and surging crowds. These Chinese scenes, which are obviously out of sync with historical time, once again indicate that this is a story of illusion and dream, taking place in a prototypical brothel. So-called Shanghai, so-called era and revolution, are just legendary backgrounds, convenient exotic symbols, and imaginative prompts about the East and sensuality.
