Anyone interested in Chinese film should check out ‘The Bitter Tears of Ruan Lingyu’, a programme presented by the Hong Kong Film Archive to commemorate the 100th anniversary of actress Ruan Lingyu’s (1910-1935) birthday. It includes the screening of Ruan’s films and a seminar on her life. As the brochure indicates ‘Ruan Lingyu is an emblem of 1930s Shanghai and the Golden Age of Chinese cinema in the pre-war years. She was glorious, yet tragic; sensual, yet proper; humble, yet elegant. She was a big star who ended her life and career prematurely, which only made her live larger in our memories.’ The programme runs from 5 June to 4 July 2010; more information is available on the website of the Film Archive.
