Viewing Notes
This plays out like a Hong Kong version of Romeo and Juliette with Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung in the lead roles. I also love Francis Ng and Elaine Mui as the siamese twins, Gei Mou-Seung.
Gorgeously shot and lavishly ‘90s. I own this on VHS somewhere! Great to revisit this (and I’m looking forward to watching Part II sometime this week).
