Ageing Hong Kong actress attempting to regain her beauty by eating a mysterious woman's special dumplings provides for a rather bad taste take of the age old tale of the search for eternal youth. Another extremely macabre shock flick with no real substance to it.

Quite unusual in its own way, read the message as many ways as you want, vanity, the male female agenda in china etc...well shot and directed, the abortion scene actually made me feel quite sick, something which i've never really experienced before...well done!
Shocking at times, but I wasn't a fan of this Fruit Chan film and found it to be the weaker of the"Three Extremes" film.

A swift and pretty means of annihilating your brain-meats! Worth watching.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Dumplings (Gaau ji)" !
