Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
Based on the novel Return to the Chateau by Pauline Reage, author of The Story of 0, Terayama's film follows the further erotic adventures of 0 (Isabelle llliers) as she is transported to a brothel on mainland China by Sir Stephen (Klaus Kinski). The reason for this seemingly heartless act is so that 0 can fulfil a pact that she has entered into with Sir Stephen; in order to experience absolute and unconditional love for him, she must be prostituted to anyone willing to pay for her. Her co-workers in the brothel have their own idiosyncratic reasons for doing what they do; but despite living side by side, they each survive alone, never sharing their sad dreams.
Sir Stephen's meddling in local Chinese politics leads to dire consequences for both himself and the much defiled 0.
