ABOUT THE FILM
Exploring a recurrent theme, Hou shifts between the past and present in his contemplation of the individual’s place in history. Liang Ching, an actress preparing for a period-film role in which she plays an anti-Japanese guerrilla, is stalked by a man who has stolen her diary. As film rehearsals progress, Liang Ching’s thoughts on the role merge with the recollection of her own recent past as a bar girl and consort of a local gangster. The sequences in the Forties, richly but starkly filmed in black-and-white, contrast sharply with the colorful crassness of those in the present. In Mandarin, Taiwanese, Cantonese, and Japanese with English subtitles.
