first ruan lingyu with stanley kwan, and now a zhou xuan movie with wong kar-wai!

will this refreshing and uncommonly beautiful woman never stop making these heartwrenching biopics about the tragic female cult figures of old shanghai? how shall i ever stop adoring her?

obviously, since there isn't actually any information to be found on the new movie, this is just an excuse for me to look at pictures of maggie cheung. what else does google images exist for? so, in addition to a long, candid guardian interview, here are three movie stills from irma vep, ying xiong and in the mood, two early (probably in her twenties) publicity shots, and finally, middle-aged but still stunning, as recently photographed at various festivals and interviews.
