I thought it was called The Lovers, but when I look it up I can't ever find it. The Lovers might be its US title. Anyway, it's about this girl who has to move to China i think (not sure) and she's 18 but looks WAY younger than she is. She and this Chinese man (age 32) have an affair. I think it's rated R with some nudity. I've never seen it. My friend wants to know and she told me to ask on yahoo answers so help if you can!

Ms. Switch, thanx for giving me the director and author of the novel. It helped me to find it and, I was right. The Lover is its US and UK title. Its real title is Amant, L' or El Amante. Thanx everyone.

The Lover is based on a novel by Marguerite Duras, a French author. They may have "made" her 18 in the movie to get past the censors, but in the book she was a high school student. The man is Chinese, but the story takes place in Saigon.
The copy i have is unrated and I believe I bought it at either Blockbuster or some place like Best Buy or Fryes. Shouldn't be too hard to find. The director is Jean-Jacques Annaud, made in 1992.
Very sexy, but I thought it was also sad.
