Stanley Kwan's hypnotic Hong Kong masterpiece arrives from 88 Films!
Introducing 88 Films' Limited Edition Blu-ray (Region B) for Rouge, a 1987 film directed by Stanley Kwan (Centre Stage) and produced by Jackie Chan (Miracles).
Cantopop superstars Anita Mui (Drunken Master II) and Leslie Cheung (Double Tap) display their iconic androgynous magnetism as doomed lovers in this emblematic film of Hong Kong’s Second New Wave, directed by pioneering queer melodrama master Stanley Kwan.
Rouge bridges past and present in its tragic romance between a humble courtesan and the wayward scion of a wealthy family, who embrace death by suicide pact amid the opulent teahouses of 1930s Hong Kong. Fifty years later, she returns to the city-state to find him, drawing a young contemporary couple (Alex Man Chi-leung and Emily Chu Bo-yee) into her quest to rekindle a passion that may be as illusory as time itself.
With its lush mise-en-scène and transcendently melancholy mood, this sensuous ghost story is an exquisite, enduringly resonant elegy for both lost love and vanishing history.
