Help Me Eros

This could conceivably be subtitled The Joys Of Drugs And Sex.
Ah Jie (Taiwanese actor-director Lee Kang-sheng) has lost everything in the stock market crash and dulls his pain with home-grown marijuana.
He becomes obsessed with hotline counsellor Chyi (Jane Liao) and also tumbles into a relationship with betel nut beauty Shin (Ivy Yi, right).
But Ah Jie is not the only one crying out for help as Chyi and Shin are also mired in their own predicaments.
Lee has mixed in song-and-dance sequences, acrobatic sex and sensual images of food and animals, but the film ends up being too scattered for its own good.
