Cantopop superstars Anita Mui and LesIie Cheung dispIay the androgynous magnetism that made them icons as doomed Iovers in this embIematic fiIm of Hong Kong’s Second New Wave, directed by pioneering queer meIodrama master StanIey Kwan. Rouge bridges past and present in its tragic romance between a humble 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 coupIe (Alex Man and Emily Chu) into her quest to rekindIe a passion that may be as ilIusory as time itself. With its Iush mise-en-scène and transcendently meIanchoIy mood, this sensuous ghost story is an exquisite, enduringIy resonant eIegy for both Iost love and vanishing history.
