Lust, Sex and Pain

Hua wanders on the streets and the French worker Mathieu (Tahar Rahim) accidentally hits her face with the pipes that he is carrying on his shoulder. Mathieu apologizes to Hua and invites her to have dinner with him. When they leave the restaurant, Mathieu rapes her and then he accompanies Hua home.Hua is a promiscuous and submissive woman and she has one night stand with Mathieu. The unlike couple falls begin a relationship based on a strong sexual desire. The insecure Mathieu decides to test Hua’s fidelity and his friend Giovanni (Jalil Lespert) also rapes her. Their troubled relationship ends when Hua finds secrets about Mathieu’s life and decides to return to China.
“Love and Bruises” is the first movie of Ye Lou that I watch and I found it only reasonable and pointless. The title is incorrect since the plot shows sexual desire but never love. The plot shows differences of culture between a Chinese woman and a French man; difference of intellect between a university student and a worker; difference of behavior between a submissive woman and a brutal man. Hua is masochist and Mathieu is sadistic and their relationship lasts for a period basically supported by their sexual preferences. Corinne Yam stays a great part of the running time naked or having sex. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil) : “Amor e Dor” (“Love and Pain”)
Clear what happens
Many reviews complaining about alleged open endings or unclear events.It’s all pretty clear.
The relationship between Hua and MAthieu (which starts with a one night rape and not a one night stand despite what other reviews say) is bases solely on aggressive sex.
Mathieu is an over jealous and possessive psycho, Hua the submissive finds out that Mathieu’s hides many facts of his life (like he was already married) and decides to quit and return to Beijing to her actual boyfriend (who she cheated on at least twice).
Then Hua decides to return. Meets Mat again, they have sex in a hotel, suddenly Mat’s pecker starts malfunctioning…no sex…no more relationship. The end.
More about Mat. He leaves the lady from Djibouti he was married to for Hua but then in a train finds another (hot) lady and tries to start an affair with her (she asks him if he’s in a relationship and he denies). At the end he’s not working in construction/maintenance anymore. Hua asks him what he does for a living at the end of the movie and he says he can’t tell….I don’t think there is a legal income tax at his new job.
