Tsui Hark's classic film is getting a special screening in a super restored edition.
The plot has a a couple falling in love under a bridge during the Japanese occupation. They never learn each other's name. A decade later their paths cross and a love triangle is formed.
One part romance, one mart melodrama, one part comedy and with a dash of musical delight added in this is a film that transcends time in a way that few films ever manage. There is a reason that we are talking about the film four decades on.
If you've never seen it- you want to make an effort to do so. If you have seen it you'll want to see this newly restored edition.
A world cinema classic.
(I can't believe I never wrote this up until now.)
