129. Rouge (1988)


Country: Hong Kong
Directed by Stanley Kwan

'Rouge' is about the importance of love and of your loved one(s). Is about the strong feelings that love gives you that can justify your existence. Is about the nostalgy of the years of your youth that you were living sentimentally to the full , in an old world that is changed that much that you can't recognise anymore. Is the most romantic film that comes to my mind: has the ability to touch deeply the audience because is dealing successfully ,combining a mainstream approach of narration with artistry and finding the way to fits to anyone taste , with things that concern every human being. Even if I felt that is a lost opportunity for something much greater , still I watched the film with real pleasure as a nice example of 'commercial' cinema.  I rather mention actors in my comments but I will make an exception for this film as I found the presence and performance of Anita Mui really fantastic
