Plot: Teresa Chiang (Kenny Bee's notorious ex-wife) is Meili ("Beautiful Woman"), who lives up to her name and then some. The wide-eyed, hot-bodied Meili is a realtor whose life changes when she meets the melodramatic Madam Umeki (Matsuzaka Keiko). Umeki buys a house from Meili, then foists her Lan Kwai Fong apartment on Meili to rent to someone else. The big issue: this is one gorgeous apartment, and Meili won't rent it to just anyone. Luckily, someone who isn't just anyone shows up. The guy is Kim (Japanese model Sho), a young photographer who appears out of nowhere and begins saying hilarious existential things to Meili. She's disturbed, but becomes more attracted to Sho when the other guy in her life, Officer 4708 (Carl Ng), starts disturbing her even more. The rock-handsome 4708 barely speaks, touches objects in a vaguely erotic fashion, and glides on his feet like some sort of voyeuristic law enforcement mime. Meanwhile, the colors and costumes are faaaaabulous. Is this art?

If it is, then it's not good art. Whatever Meili is going through is something that occurs only to her, because it doesn't reach us on this side of the screen. Teresa Chiang turns in a daring and even beguiling performance as Meili, a woman who's searching for love and is all-too-willing to explore her darker side. Maybe. Even though she's attracted to Kim, and is enchanted by the increasingly insane-acting Madam Umeki, she also finds time to entice 4708 with her bare breasts and try on some S&M gear to see what it imparts on her squirming-to-be-loved soul. You see, in the world of Colour Blossoms, S&M does two things. One, if gets the unnaturally sexy Teresa Chiang (who, if we must remind you, is over forty years of age) into fantastic leather outfits. Two, it creates meaning. Or at least, that's what director-writer-photographer Yon Fan wants.
