Butterfly (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version) Blu-ray Region All

The second feature from Hong Kong independent director Yan Yan Mak has been one of the most talked about films of 2004. A small-scale film that sits on the border of independent and commercial filmmaking, Butterfly premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2004 as the Opening Film for the International Critics' Week. It has since been invited to many film festivals around the world, including Stockholm, Pusan, Tokyo, Bangkok, India, Brazil, Australia and opening for Hong Kong's Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. The film received numerous honors during the 2004 award season. It picked up two nominations at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards: Best Screenplay Adaptation for Yan Yan Mak and Best New Performer for Tian Yuan. It also picked up three nominations at the 10th Golden Bauhinia Awards, with Josie Ho competing in Best Actress, Eric Kot in Best Supporting Actor, and Tian Yuan in Best Supporting Actress categories.

Butterfly is adapted from Taiwanese author Chen Hsueh's short story "The Mark of the Butterfly". Starring Josie Ho, Eric Kot, Tian Yuan, Isabel Chan and Joman Chiang, it is about a woman's struggle to come to terms with her true self, the importance to break out from her cocoon and set herself free. Flavia (Josie Ho) is a married teacher, who lives a comfortable but uneventful life with her husband (Eric Kot) and daughter, until one day she meets Yip (Tian Yuan), a young girl caught shoplifting in a supermarket. After rescuing her, Flavia is slowly seduced by the free-spirited singer, reigniting the desires she has long buried. Years ago, Flavia (Isabel Chan) had a passionate relationship with the rebellious and political Jin (Joman Chaing), until an event forced them apart. Flavia, torn between her devotion to her family and her feelings for Yip, must choose between being responsible to others or living the life she wants for the first time...

The Blu-ray includes audio commentary, production featurette, interviews with the cast, production featurette, deleted scenes with director's commentary, and the MV for at17's The Best Is Yet To Come.

每一隻蝴蝶破繭而出時，總經過黑暗和痛苦的過程，
沒有外來力量可以幫得上忙，任何加速破繭的企圖，都成為接近死亡的前奏。
蝶一開始就知道，該來的事總是會來的……

蝶（何超儀 飾）是生活平穩豐裕的中學教師，一天在超級市場內遇上了偷東西吃的女孩小葉（田原 飾）。小葉擁有孩子般笑容和倔強，令蝶深深著迷，叫醒了她體內多時的慾望。

阿蝶思緒無法平復，她甚至嘗試更頻繁地親近丈夫（葛民輝 飾），企圖挽救自己的失控；她努力教書，認真做家事，抱著孩子告訴自己──不能自私地毀壞這個幸福的家。

但，周遭發生的事，將蝶推向另一個屬於她的世界。蝶重新審視生命深處中每一個結── 包括年少時的戀人真真（蔣祖曼 飾）。蝶與真真有過一段沒有開花的感情。

本來已經習慣放棄的蝶，再無法輕易順從別人的期望，滿足旁觀者的評斷。

就算只有一次也好，蝶也要讓自己做回真我……

　　Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, Flavia finds her lesbian passion reawakened after a chance encounter with a carefree and spirited singer/songwriter. A shattering new film from award-winning director Yan Yan Mak (Gege, 2001), Butterfly alternates between the past and the present, juxtaposing a romance to a rebellious human rights activist in 1989 with her current struggles as a wife and mother fronted by a brave and sympathetic performance by Josie Ho, the film dares to challenge the institutions of family and marriage while championing individual rights for all Hong Kongers, gays and lesbians included. Opening Film at Venice Film Festival Critics Week.
