"Red Rose, White Rose"
1994
Directed by Stanley Kwan

Stanley Kwan sensitively handles this drama about a man who cannot commit to his new wife nor his former mistress and the toll his indecision takes over several years. "The wonderfully expressive art direction alone would make this a treat, but we are doubly fortunate to find the film's decorative style in the service of a droll, bittersweet parable about love and sex and marriage" (John Teegarden, Film.com). Featuring Winston Chao, Joan Chen and Veronica Yip. Cantonese with English subtitles. Taiwan.  120 minutes.
