The film is adapted from the autobiographical novel of French female writer Marguerite Duras. It became a sensation for Hong Kong star Tony Leung Ka Fai and teenage star Jane Margie in their bold sex scenes. The plot of the whole film is not out of the clichés of romantic films. What is worth admiring is the nostalgic and romantic sentiment, the pictures are beautiful, and the erotic scenes between men and women are also filmed with a fiery and provocative feeling. Critics believe that the protagonist is not as good as the supporting role, because the film is slow in pace, emotionally alienated, and lacks exciting clasps. Duras had a negative attitude towards the film after it was released. (

The whole film is elegant and quiet, filled with the aristocratic exhaustion. Tony Leung Ka Fai's slender figure, trembling fingers, deep eyes and dry skin have been fixed in the impression, making him a popular audience in the eyes of the East and the West. L'amant. At the same time, Tony Leung Ka Fai's bold passionate drama and naked performance in this film also caused a sensation and a lot of criticism. (
