“In the midst of her 1990s run of blockbusters, Brigitte Lin lent her superstar presence to this surprising stageto- screen adaptation. Theater director Stan Lai adapts his own play about two theater companies rehearsing on the same stage, with one troupe performing an epic romance, and the other a comedic fable. As the players argue and the rehearsals progress, the two narratives begin to intertwine. Lin is luminous in this playful, sharply-realized exploration of Chinese history.” [HKIFF]
