Title: The Map of Sex and Love

Mandarin with English Subtitles

2001

 

A young Chinese-American filmmaker returns to Hong Kong to make a documentary about the immeinent opening of a new Disney theme park. He meets two people a gay dancer, haunted by a childhood secret, and a young woman, who was traumatized during a visit to Belgrade. The filmmaker and the dancer slowly fall in love while the woman watches from the outside trying to reconcile the tragic events she has seen. Eventually all three travel to Macau to discover the filmmakers family history. THE MAP OF SEX AND LOVE is an involving and sensual story about peoples true abilities to put their past behind them and strive forward in a culture of repression.

 

A Manhattan-based filmmaker returns to Hong Kong for the purpose of documenting the Disneyfication of his homeland, but instead finds himself mining his own displacement as a queer expatriate. In the process he meets a deceptively controlled gay dancer and an isolated shop girl who are drawn to his questioning nostalgia for a country that may never have been.

 

Mainstream viewers gay and straight may be initially put off by the bright home-movie feel of this 21st-Century desktop indie feature, which is more concerned with cultural psychology than erotic exploration. But the patiently attentive will be rewarded by the rich themes interwoven in this ambivalent portrait of contemporary Hong Kong, and humanity.

 

Central to the film are two moral problems: that of the individual who behaves counter to supposed societal norms; and that of the society behaving against its native ideals in order to survive in the global economy. Chan reveals the complicated relationship between these two phenomena in a way that is rarely clarified in film, and with a sense of human history that is ultimately compassionate and forgiving.
