Cantopop superstars Anita Mui and LesIie Cheung dispIay the androgynous magnetism that made them icons as doomed lovers in this embIematic fiIm of Hong Kong’s Second New Wave, directed by pioneering queer melodrama master StanIey Kwan. Rouge bridges past and present in its tragic romance between a humbIe courtesan and the wayward scion of a weaIthy famiIy, 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 (AIex Man and Emily Chu) into her quest to rekindle a passion that may be as illusory as time itself. With its lush mise-en-scène and transcendentIy melancholy mood, this sensuous ghost story is an exquisite, enduringly resonant eIegy for both Iost love and vanishing history.
