Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In 1937, amid Shanghai’s bombings, aspiring songwriter Tung and showgirl Shu find solace under a bridge. Though unable to see each other clearly, the young couple fall in love and plan to meet again when the war ends. A decade later, Tung and Shu cross paths again, unaware of their past connection.
One of the greatest films from legendary Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, this ravishing romantic comedy, newly restored in 4K, serves up a masterclass in controlled chaos. With Sylvia Chang leading an exuberant ensemble cast, Shanghai Blues is a glorious ode to the golden age of Hollywood screwball.
