Since 1947, when they were allowed to enter France freely as full citizens, they have flooded into the country in what French sociologists call "the immigration of hunger."

The advisers are trying to keep the sex in balance with the substance, the taste with the tasty; and Buddha himself -played by 23-year-old Rising Son Kojiro Hongo-will only appear in the flesh during the first segment of the film. After that, he becomes a ray of light, a murmur of thunder. The script even avoids mentioning the birth of the Enlightened One's child, but otherwise spares nothing: the cartoon bevies of sensual maidens who surround the young prince, the rape of his wife...
