ROUGE (1987), directed by Stanley Kwan, is a captivating Chinese ghost story that blends romance, tragedy, and supernatural elements. Set in Hong Kong, the film revolves around the haunting tale of a passionate love affair between a nightclub singer, Fleur (played by Anita Mui), and a wealthy man, Chan (Leslie Cheung), whose love transcends death. After their untimely demise in the 1930s, Fleur’s spirit remains earthbound, longing to reunite with Chan. Decades later, she encounters a modern-day reporter who becomes fascinated by the mystery of her eternal love.

Stanley Kwan’s direction explores themes of love, loss, and the clash between traditional Chinese values and modern life. Rouge stands out not only as a supernatural love story but also as a poignant commentary on Hong Kong’s cultural and historical transformations. Anita Mui’s portrayal of Fleur, a strong-willed yet deeply romantic character, adds emotional depth to this evocative tale, cementing her as one of Hong Kong’s finest actresses.

A beautiful example of the Chinese ghost story genre, Rouge combines haunting visuals with a tender love story, creating a timeless classic that resonates with audiences even today. For fans of both ROUGE Stanley Kwan and ROUGE Anita Mui, this film remains an essential part of Hong Kong cinema history.
