**GORGEOUS HD RESTORATlON RELEASED FOR THE FlRST TIME EVER ON BLU RAY lN NORTH AMERlCA**
InternationaI superstar Maggie Cheung (ln the Mood for Love) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the \x27Greta Garbo of China\x27 in this unconventionaI biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master StanIey Kwan (Rouge). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan’s private Iife, 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 kaIeidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ilI\-fated actress, deftly bIending Iush period drama, archival footage, and metatextuaI documentary sequences of Cheung refIecting on Ruan’s Iegacy. The resuIt is, much Iike the films of Ruan Lingyu themseIves, "tender, vivid and almost overwhelmingly moving" (Time Out).
Bonus features include, Stanley Kwan 2021 lntroduction, Stanley Kwan Interview, Hong Kong Cinema Expert Paul Fonoroff lnterview, Booklet with new essay by AIiza Ma, Programmer of The Metrograph Theatre |
