Synopsis:

Set in the opulent "flower house" brothels of 19th-century Shanghai, Flowers of Shanghai requires great patience even by Hou Hsiao Hsien's standards of languid pacing, but the reward is equally great. The liaisons of the courtesans and callers fade in and out in a mesmerizing haze of long, luscious shots and luminous cinematography: Wang (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) lingers between longtime lover Crimson (Michiko Hada) and new interest Jasmin (Vicky Wei), Emerald (Michelle Reis) schemes to buy her freedom, Pearl (Carina Lau) tutors a willful young flower.
