I Want More!

About This Movie

I Want More! is an intriguing exploration of power dynamics and sensuality in a historical context, all set against the backdrop of the Ming dynasty. The film dives into the subservient roles of women during this period, with the Emperor Cheng Teh at the helm, making decisions that shape the lives of many. The pacing has a deliberate, almost languid quality that pulls you deeper into the Ching Hua House, where the women undergo rigorous training in the 'sensual arts.' It’s raw, sometimes uncomfortable, but certainly distinctive in how it portrays these themes. The performances convey a mix of vulnerability and strength, leaving a lasting impression of the contrasting worlds of pleasure and servitude.

I Want More! has seen limited releases, making it somewhat elusive in collector circles. The film’s unique approach to its themes, paired with its historical setting, draws interest from those fascinated by niche cinema. Expect to see it surface in specialty collections or at film festivals focusing on underrepresented works, but find it in standard formats can be quite a challenge.
