In the Heat of the Sun is a 1994 Chinese film directed and written by Jiang Wen in his directional debut. It is loosely based on author Wang Shuo's novel Wild Beast. In the film, Jiang utilized eroticism to restructure the discourse of Maoist China. The romantic and nostalgic representation of history is evident through the sensual narrative as well as the sexual experience of the film’s characters at the height of the Cultural Revolution.
