YesAsia Editorial Description

Zhang Yimou's Shanghai Triad won the Technical Grand Prize at Cannes Film Festival in 1995, and was also nominated for the prestigious Golden Palm. Having collaborated with Zhang Yimou for a few artistically acclaimed titles including Raise the Red Lantern, Gong Li had by then made a name for herself as an actress. After Shanghai Triad (1995), she stopped working with Zhang for more than a decade until Curse of the Golden Flower reunited them in 2006. Wonderfully colored and visually sumptuous, Shanghai Triad also received a nomination for Best Cinematography at the Oscars.

Shanghai Triad, a film noir by genre, shows triad life through the eyes of a teenager, a perspective not often seen in this genre. Teenage boy Shuisheng moves from the countryside to Shanghai to stay with his uncle, who is under triad leader Tang. Tang sends Shuisheng to serve his mistress Xiao Jinbao (Gong Li). She has an affair with Song, another triad leader who plans to seize power from Tang. Shuisheng, innocent and naive, involuntarily gets involved in a power struggle which may explode at any time.

They deliver it again Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Once again, Gong Li and Director Zhang make it happen and it is great to see Gong Li sing and dance. The story was told through the eyes of this poor village boy who came to Shanghai early last centry to look for a better life. He joined the gang through his uncle's connection with the Shanghai triad. He hated Gong Li's character in the beginning but later became friends in a short period of time. The script is great but it has a sad ending. I am really moved by what happened on the Island at the end of this film. This movie was relased in the US under a different name.
