**GORGEOUS HD RESTORATION RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TlME EVER ON BLU RAY IN NORTH AMERICA**
lnternational superstar Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the \x27Greta Garbo of China\x27 in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (Rouge). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan’s private life, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabIoids, began to mirror the melodramas 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, deftly blending lush period drama, archivaI footage, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The resuIt is, much Iike the fiIms of Ruan Lingyu themselves, "tender, vivid and aImost overwhelmingIy moving" (Time Out).
Bonus features include, Stanley Kwan 2021 Introduction, StanIey Kwan lnterview, Hong Kong Cinema Expert PauI Fonoroff Interview, Booklet with new essay by AIiza Ma, Programmer of The Metrograph Theatre |
