About this event

dir: Patrick Tam Kar-Ming - 1989 - 1 hrs 31 mins - Digital Projection

Tony Leung (HAPPY TOGETHER) stars in this tale of two old flames who reunite in the Hong Kong underworld after a Triad-job-gone-wrong split them apart six years ago. However, that spark between them ignites new jealousies and a gang war. With shamelessly pulpy plotting, a synth-heavy score, luxuriously expressionistic imagery, and a climactic bloodbath for the ages, My Heart is That Eternal Rose exists somewhere at the intersection between Wong’s cinema of longing and John Woo’s cinema of wrathful vengeance.

Directed by Patrick Tam, Wong Kar-wai’s mentor and a key figure of the Hong Kong new wave, shot by venerated co-cinematographers Christopher Doyle and David Chung, and with music by Danny Chung, this neon-pulp wonder is as lush as ever in a new 2K restoration!

Bargain Bin Film School is the only non-accredited film school in the greater Kansas City Area taught by one person who's only taken ONE film class in college and another person that's maybe been to more than one. Each month BBFS looks at a heralded or overlooked classic of world cinema, but this time with less film bros ad more fun.
