Center stage [videorecording (DVD)] / a film by Stanley Kwan. Film Movement Classics, 2021. Call #: DVD CEN 1991 Wor Subjects Ruan, Lingyu, 1910-1935 -- Drama.   Actors and actresses -- Biography -- Drama. Series Film Movement classics. Format:  [videorecording (DVD)] / Description:  1 videodisc (ca. 154 min.) : sd., col. ; 12 cm. + 1 booklet. Notes:  Cantonese, Mandarin with English subtitles. Production:  Director, Stanley Kwan. Performers:  Maggie Cheung. Summary:  International superstar Maggie Cheung embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the 'Greta Garbo of China' in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan. Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan's private life, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kawan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress, deftly blending lush period drama, archival footage, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan's legacy. The result is, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves, 'tender, vivid and almost overwhelmingly moving' (Time Out). Audience:  MWT rating: NR. Genre:  Chinese films. Foreign films. Biographical films. Show business films. Period dramas. DVDs. Other authors:  Zhang, Manyu.
