Internationally-renowned director Stanley Kwan directs Red Rose White Rose, an acclaimed drama set in 1920s China. Zhen Bao (Winston Chao) is a well-to-do playboy whose relationships with two different women are explored in a fascinating, compelling manner. Mrs. Wang (Joan Chen) is the "Red Rose", an extroverted housewife neglected by her husband. Her affair with Zhen Bao is stormy and passionate, and ultimately all-too-brief. Men Yan Li (Veronica Yip) is the "White Rose", an introverted, seemingly-slow woman whom Zhen Bao marries, then comes to slowly disregard. Told in a romantic, boldly opaque narrative style, Red Rose White Rose presents the passions and personal voices of each character in different, sometimes conflicting ways. The result is a compelling, beautifully-mounted drama that ranks as one of Stanley Kwan's most assured works. Joan Chen's sublime performance in Red Rose White Rose earned her a Best Actress Award at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
