| The Twin Bracelets (1991)
雙鐲
Director: Huang Yu Shan
Starring: Winnie
Lau, Vivian Chan, Roger Gwok
A young woman in an oppressive Chinese
fishing village seeks love and escape in the arms of her childhood
girlfriend against a backdrop of customs and mores that treat women as
property with no human rights.
In a remote fishing village, two
girls, best friends, struggle to remain committed to their declaration
of love in their tradition-bound society. A moving, ultimately tragic
film, Twin Bracelets is remarkable for its portrayal of an independent
woman's commitment to her love.
Yushan Huang, the director of Twin
Bracelets, is perhaps one of the most under rated directors in Chinese
cinema. In festival screenings worldwide, Twin Bracelets was an audience
favorite.
