Set at the highest levels of imperial China, Sex and the Emperor delivers a full-on Category III experience packed with palace intrigue, intense sexual content, and moments of torture. Told through the perspective of Li, a servant who is not quite the eunuch he is supposed to be, the narrative follows his involvement in the Emperor's demands—from spying on women to rescuing his favorite concubine from a brothel and managing imperial enemies. This film is a perfect example of Hong Kong cinema at its wildest and is recommended for broad-minded viewers.
