阮玲玉
1991| 2h 34m| IMDb 6.9
Ruan Lingyu was a major star in prewar Chinese cinema before she took her own life at the age of just 24 following vicious attacks by the tabloids. This beautiful biopic combines a spellbinding performance from Maggie Cheung with documentary footage and clips from her films. The result is a fitting tribute to Ruan which also highlights the difficulties faced by women in cinema, past and present.
Director: Stanley Kwan Kam-Pang
