Centre Stage. Stanley Kwan. 1991.
Chinese cinema’s iconic real and reel life tragedy of the suicide of Chinese Garbo Ruan Lingyu ( star of ‘the goddess’) is played up in style and melodrama in the film within the film, with black and white out takes of the contemporary cast discussing her life and her motives. The artifice of the era is played up in almost camp art deco settings and jazz era costumes. Maggie Cheung looks gorgeous.
