| Summary |
| |
Originally written as the story of one man (played by mainland star Ge You) and his affairs with five women, the pic started shooting in June 2006, with Ge and actresses Vivian Wu and Fan Bingbing. After production halted -- reportedly because of a dispute between Ma and Ge -- Ma went on to direct the black comedy "Lost and Found." Production on "Desires" resumed in August 2008 under the banner of three Hong Kong companies, and with the the script cleverly reworked so the Ge/Wu story is just one of five couples' separate stories. Some of Fan's footage survives in a brief flashback near the end of the Ge/Wu tale. (Variety review)
