YesAsia Editorial Description

Hong Kong filmmaker Stanley Kwan Kam Pen sets a suspicious, ghostly woman (Anita Mui) in Yuan's (Alex Man) newspaper company to place an advertisement for her missing lover – who is 50 years late from the day of his vow. The woman's pleading eyes unfold the events of her story in 1930 Hong Kong when she worked as Fleur, a high-class courtesan in the lavish Yi Hung Brothel, and met Twelfth Master Chan (Leslie Cheung), the heir of a wealthy merchant. After intense courtship, the two began a doomed relationship, opposed by Chan's parents – ending in a Romeo & Juliet-style storyline where they decide to commit suicide and meet in afterlife by swallowing opium together.

After a dreadful 53-year wait, Fleur returns to life and wanders the streets dressed in cheongsam, searching for her lost love. Fleur's spirited body grows weaker and weaker as our sympathies for her grow stronger and stronger. The sadness of separation reveals disquieting truths about the relationship and we come to realize some of Fleur's intoxicated memories…

Telling a sad, enchanting and engaging romantic love story about passion, dedication, fate and karma, Rouge resonates in the heart for a long time – successfully becoming many people's favorite ghost movie.

A masterpiece that takes a holistic approach to cinematic storytelling which earned numerous awards, some including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Editing, Best Film Score, and Best Song at the Eighth Annual Hong Kong Film Awards.

1930년대 홍콩의 유곽지역. 신문사에서 근무하는 원영정은 차가운 느낌을 주는 미인의 구인 광고를 부탁받게 되는데 "도련님, 3811. 그곳에서 기다리겠습니다. 여화"라는 내용이었다. 원래 여화는 유명한 기생으로 부잣집 도련님과 사랑에 빠지게 된다. 하지만 신분의 차이로 인해 집안의 반대에 부딪혀 집을 뛰쳐나가 그녀와 동거하게 되는데 그때 정표로 여화에게 연지 상자를 선물한다. 결국 두사람은 주위의 압력에 견디다 못해 음독자살을 하여 내세에서 만날 것을 기약하는데 여화가 저승에서 노심초사하며 도련님을 기다린다. 그가 나타나지않자 기다리다 못해 다시 인간 세상으로 환속한다. 이때는 50여 년이라는 오랜 시간이 흘러 세상이 다른 모습으로 변하여 있었다. 우연히 고물상에서 그 당시의 기사를 발견하게 된 여화는 그때 도련님이 사람들에게 구조되어 다시 살아났을 뿐만 아니라 이미 70세의 노인이 되어 촬영장의 스턴트맨으로 몰락했다는 것을 알게 된다. 여화는 온갖 고초를 겪으며 사랑한 사람이 겨우 위험 앞에서 도망가 버리는 비겁자에 지나지 않는 사람임을 알고 낙담하지만 모든 것을 운명의 장난으로 헛되이 목숨을 버린 자신의 탓으로 돌리고 정표인 연지 상자를 돌려주고는 사라져 버린다

Rouge Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is an unusual love story that ended sadly. Anita played a highclass prostitute and Leslie was the 2nd son of a very wealthy family. He fell for her during a lunch social with friends at the 'club'. Naturally the feelings were mutual and they were an item much to the family's disapproval as they considered it an 'uneven' match of social status. When it came to the arranged marriage of Leslie by his family, the couple made a pact and decided to commit suicide together so that they could with each other 'till eternity'. Sadly things didn't go according to plans and Anita turned up 50 years later as a ghost to search for Leslie to keep their vow. The truth emerged after she met a newspaper editor and his girlfriend who helped her to track Leslie.

Events like these are very common back in the 1930s. Many rich men begets concubines thro highclass prostitutes/club dancers, etc. Nothing ordinary to have 3 or 4 wives if you could afford it. Of course social status and 'saving face' are the norm if you happened to be the sole heir to the family fortune. Although these women, many were in the trade because their family were poor and they have to support/repay debts or being sold to pimps as teenagers, were generally good and the only way out were to 'secure' a man willing to love them as they are and eventually give them a better life.

Anita deserved the award for best actress but Leslie's part was played down a little. A lot of chemistry between these two. For the younger audience who thought the opera/social status/call-house bit were fiction, they are very real.

I bought the digitally remastered version but the colour was quite dark, very disappointed. The sound production were good. Certainly a movie for those fans of Anita and Leslie.

This is a narrative love story of a young courtesean looking for her reincarnated lover 50 years after they "supposedly" committed suicide... only to find out that the reason why she did not meet him is because they did not die together.

It's historial, and wonderfully done. You will enjoy it much as i did. Don't forget to buy your copy too.

great anita!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
i saw this movie last weekend and i have to say that is one of the best movie that i ever see. anita plays really really good. all her emotions let you know how she feels at the moment. anita was even better than leslie although leslie was good too. leslie looks very handsome (a little feminim) but this is that what i like.and the song at end from anita was so emotionally that makes you cry. i think this is THE movie that everyone has to see if this person wants to see anita and leslie together. fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
this movie is quite boring. i wanted to go to sleep afterwards. BUT!!!! both leslie and anita pass away. so this will be a great choice if you want to see some collaboration between these 2 stars. leslie looks really young and handsome. anita as always, being herself. there are two other characters, they play an important role because they help anita around. but leslie and anita totally cover them. anyhow, this is worth buying, but can only be watch once.
