Ye ban ge sheng (1995)

Ye ban ge sheng: Directed by Ronny Yu. With Leslie Cheung, Chien-Lien Wu, Xiaolin Geng, Lei Huang. In 1930’s China, an opera troupe arrives at an abandoned theater, haunted by the spectral figure of it’s previous owner – a once great opera singer – who now seeks to turn the company’s young leading men into a great star like himself.

“the acting is not convincing. The plot, the set, the indoor lighting, everything looks artificial. Itu0026#39;s a mixture of romeo and juliet with phantom of the opera only without the real touch. What a pity that there are not as many good movies made in Hong Kong anymore.”
