With this 1991 bio-pic of the Chinese silent-movie star Ruan Lingyu, the Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan reveals the political fault lines of the actress’s intimate passions while radically revising the bio-pic form. Maggie Cheung plays Ruan, who rose to stardom in Shanghai, in the early nineteen-thirties, while supporting a dissolute ex-lover and having an affair with a rich and feckless businessman. After the Japanese occupation of Manchuria and bombing of Shanghai, Ruan appeared in confrontational political dramas—amid threats of censorship—and was targeted by scandalmongering journalists; she died, in 1935, by suicide, at the age of twenty-four. Kwan unfolds Ruan’s story with a glossy blend of romantic melancholy and social history; it’s intercut with clips from Ruan’s films, interviews with her now elderly real-life colleagues, discussions with his cast and crew about her life and times, and behind-the-scenes footage of his shoot. The self-aware drama moves at the hypnotic pace of an elusive dream, as in spectacularly staged musical scenes, set in a night club, that merge sinuous and languid dances with high-stakes emotional battles.(Streaming on Vudu, Prime Video, and other services.)
