Primary
Erotic Ghost Story is primarily a genre film exploring themes of desire, fate, and traditional folklore within a supernatural context, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or engaging in systemic critique.
This Hong Kong production features a cast predominantly of East Asian actors, which is natural for its origin and does not involve explicit DEI-driven casting or race/gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative, typical of its genre, does not explicitly critique or promote traditional identities in a DEI context.
Secondary
Erotic Ghost Story features a central, passionate lesbian relationship between Lotus and Hsiao-tsui, depicted with genuine affection and emotional depth.
