Beauty Remains
Set against the backdrop of Communism's rise in 1949 China, it is 15 years since a poor, illegitimate schoolgirl was abandoned; now her spoilt half-sister needs her help to claim the substantial inheritance left by their late father. Meanwhile the two young women both find themselves attracted to the same man and a passionate love triangle develops. Sets, costumes and hairstyles recreate the era beautifully in this tale of desire, passion and greed with Zhou Xun and Vivian Wu excellent in the lead roles.
