Standout Aspects

Acting

Cherie Chung's eyes do more than most scripts.

Cinematography

Hong Kong never looked this simultaneously gorgeous and cruel.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you want to feel something quietly devastating.·Rewatch: Second viewing hits different once you know their fate.
Heads up:Emotional: Ending will wreck you—1980s Hong Kong cinema doesn't do happy.
