French silkworm trader Hervé is married to the beautiful Hélène. When an outbreak of disease ravages European silkworms, Hervé must travel to Japan to retrieve healthy eggs. After a long journey, Hervé finally arrives at a village where he can buy them. He becomes infatuated with a young concubine and goes to great lengths to see her again. But, when war breaks out in Japan, the concubine flees, forcing Hervé to return home to his wife.

Kevin Crust · Los Angeles Times 50.00/100.00

Though the film aspires to the epic with pretensions of deeper philosophical meaning, it ultimately settles for being the "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" of historical romances.

shawn 3.00/5.00

缓慢的影片,貌似是Keira已形成定式的表演风格。遥远的诱惑新鲜而危险,所以致命吸引。又是一部被pptv割去关键剧情的影片,因此对男主为何如此迷恋该东方女子感到莫明其妙,因此只有三星。

Joshua Katzman · Chicago Reader 50.00/100.00

A visually arresting period piece.
