SPRING FEVER provides a rather confusing, yet absorbing tale of Gay sexual compulsion, however, the film is much more that an average Gay love story. The female characters are just as compelling, and even a bit more interesting that the male leads. Although the story line strains to be vague and enigmatic, in the end, it just comes across as garbled and bewildering. I would suggest a visit to the Message Board at IMDb after viewing the film to help you to get a firmer grasp on the plot. But, the most interesting aspect of the film is that it provides a fascinating look at locations in China which are not usually shown on film. Has there ever been a film featuring a drag queen bar and a punk rock nightclub in contemporary China? SPRING FEVER is unquestionably an Art House film, yet disjointed as it is, it still is an evocative and expressive work.
