You can stream The Hand (2004) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Hong Kong, 1960s. Zhang, a shy tailor's assistant, is riveted by his imperious client Miss Hua. Upon meeting her, she seduces him to make sure he will truly remember her when designing her garments. After this intimate first encounter, a rapport develops between the two. Entry is for the theatrically released extended version, not the segment from the Eros anthology.

Six-ties Hong Kong vibrates with a humid, neon-lit tension that mirrors the suffocating pull of an unwanted obsession. A shy tailor finds himself ensnared in a dangerous game of desire orchestrated by a client who uses silk and skin to command his absolute devotion.
