Although they can’t see each other’s faces they promise to meet again after the dust settles. Ten years later the soldier, now a burgeoning songwriter and tuba-player in a marching band, is back in town desperately searching for his would-be soulmate. As fate would have it they end up living in the same building unbeknownst to each other. Through a series of mishaps he mistakes her new ingénue roommate for his love interest and wacky love triangle hijinks ensue. Consummate auteur Tsui Hark almost singlehandedly reinvented Hong Kong cinema in the 80’s and 90’s with uber-kinetic genre opuses, amping up cinematic spectacle whether with special effects or sheer unbridled energy. This Hong Kong styled homage to the screwball comedies of yesteryear features black belt level slapstick and delightfully droll romcom shenanigans. With striking mise en scene and inspired production design Shanghai Blues is, “…luscious, loving and a lot of fun…one of Tsui Hark’s most enjoyable works,\" (Richard James Havis, South China Morning Post). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4K restoration of Shanghai Blues was supervised from the original negative by Tsui Hark with L’Immagine Ritrovata and the soundtrack remixed by One Cool Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003edirected by: Tsui Hark\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003estarring: Kenny Bee, Sylvia Chang, Sally Yeh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1984 \/ 103 min \/ 1.85:1 \/ Cantonese, Mandarin DTS-HD MA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD \/ Region A Blu-ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterviews with director\/producer Tsui Hark and film coordinator O Sing Pui\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary by Hong Kong film expert Frank Djeng\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-page booklet with essay by film writer John Charles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tH7skdDVfZ0?si=0fl0UyQ5XxrbWral\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Film Movement Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45860728537271,"sku":"FMC-017","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/9531\/8199\/files\/Shanghai_Blues_STD_Front_4K_03fa6bbd-53d6-4002-a1e1-d71cdec8bc43.png?v=1769713121","url":"https:\/\/ocndistribution.com\/products\/shanghai-blues","provider":"OCN Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
