With an introduction by Richard I. Suchenski<\/p>\n

Dir. Hou Hsiao-hsien. 1998, 113 mins. New 35mm print. With Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Michiko Hada, Carina Lau Ka-ling. Hou\u2019s ravishing, lapidary chamber drama follows the fates of four \u201cflower girls\u201d working together in a brothel in the British section of Shanghai in 1884. Inside the sealed, illusory world of the flower house, fading Crimson fears losing the attention of Master Wang to Jasmin, while na\u00efve Jade allows herself to be drawn into a suicide pact. \u201cOne of the most sublimely beautiful films I\u2018ve ever seen, and one of the most unbearably sad. To watch these characters break one another\u2019s hearts, and then to have your own broken, is to experience something that the movies rarely grant us\u2014perfection.\u201d (Manohla Dargis, LA Weekly). Richard I. Suchenski, Director, Center for Moving Image Arts at Bard College, who organized the internationally touring retrospective, will introduce the screening.<\/p>\n
