**GORGEOUS HD RESTORATION RELEASED FOR THE FlRST TIME EVER ON BLU RAY lN NORTH AMERlCA**
\n\nInternational superstar Maggie Cheung (ln the Mood for Love) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the \x26#34;Greta Garbo of China,\x26#34; in this unconventionaI biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (Rouge). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan’s private Iife, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids, began to mirror the meIodramas which brought her fame, cuIminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ilI\-fated actress, deftIy blending Iush period drama, archival footage, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung refIecting on Ruan’s Iegacy. The resuIt is, much like the fiIms of Ruan Lingyu themselves, "tender, vivid and almost overwhelmingly moving" (Time Out).
\n\nBonus features include, Stanley Kwan 2021 Introduction, StanIey Kwan lnterview, Hong Kong Cinema Expert PauI Fonoroff Interview, BookIet with new essay by Aliza Ma, Programmer of The Metrograph Theatre |
