Kwan’s “Regret” brings Shanghai glamour to Venice – Clara Ferreira-Marques

Posted by | Sep 8, 2005

From Reuters:

Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan‘s “Everlasting Regret” brought Old Shanghai glamour to Venice on Thursday with a tale of bitterness and unrequited love, as the film festival wound down ahead of its weekend awards.

The only Chinese film competing for Venice’s top Golden Lion prize follows the life of a celebrated beauty as she slides from the glittering dance floors of exclusive 1940s ballrooms to a wistful, proletarian existence.
