Suzhou River (Limited Edition, Region B)
Suzhou River
Mardar is a small-time crook who delivers packages without asking questions. Until he is tasked with delivering MeiMei, the daughter of a shady smuggler. Looking exactly like his long-lost love, Moudan, who threw herself into the Suzhou River, Mardar becomes convinced she is his dead lover. Set within the murky wastelands of Shanghai, Ye Lou’s award-winning re-tooling of Hitchcock’s Vertigo is a visual treat that features the kinetic style of Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express.
