In Suzhou in 1930s, Gu Cuihua, a geisha in Deyuelou, became a famous prostitute with her extraordinary appearance and superb Kunqu attainments, and later married into a rich local family, Fu Rong. Rong Lan is a relative of Rong's family, and her husband (Rong's adult) can be called brothers. As a daughter, she has the ambition of a man. Although her family is in decline, she is determined to be a woman of the times and get rid of the feudal shackles to serve the country. Although both Ronglan and Cui Hua are women, they are a perfect match on the stage. When they sang the Kunqu Opera "Peony Pavilion", they played Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, and their cooperation was seamless and enviable. As soon as the back door entered the sea, Fu Rong's boring life and human sentiment made Cui Hua very lonely. Ronglan is infatuated with Cui Hua's beauty and sadness, and often goes to the government to care for her. Two people gradually have the feeling of ambiguity. After many twists and turns, they finally lived together.
Colorful times; A mansion full of money and money; A pair of beautiful women looking at each other.
This is a beautiful film that interprets Kunqu opera, but I can't really understand its delicate feelings. Perhaps it is the director's persistent pursuit, and not everyone can understand it deeply. Kunqu opera, on the other hand, is like a poem that connects the lives of the protagonists in the film.
"It turns out that colorful flowers are everywhere, as if they were all paid for the broken well. Who will be happy if there is a beautiful day? Morning and evening scrolls, clouds and pavilions, wind and rain films, and smoke and waves painting boats. " Jinping people are ashamed of this! "
