It Can't Get More Beautiful: 'Rouge The Original 4K' Character Posters Released!

The jewel-like masterpiece 〈Rouge The Original 4K〉 is set to make its theatrical debut on March 25, 40 years after its production, unveiling two character posters that capture the film's tragic yet beautiful love story. The newly released character posters feature the iconic Hong Kong film stars Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, portraying 'Shiyi Shao' and 'Yehua', symbolically expressing the enduring feelings of love that transcend 50 years. The pairing of these two actors is still regarded as one of the most beloved legendary screen couples among Hong Kong film fans.

〈Rouge The Original 4K〉 tells the story of Jin Jinbang (Leslie Cheung) and Yehua (Anita Mui), who made an extreme choice after a love that transcended social status in 1934 Hong Kong. Fifty years later, Yehua returns to 1980s Hong Kong as a ghost to find her lover who never appeared after the promised time. The character poster of Leslie Cheung captures attention with a close-up of his neat profile. His determined gaze, despite a restrained expression, hints at the fate of 'Shiyi Shao', a man who sacrificed everything for love. The phrase, "Please do not forget the me from back then..." adds to the poignancy, overlapping with the narrative of his tragic death that remains etched in the memories of love over time.

On the other hand, the character poster of Anita Mui stands out with her striking red lips and alluring atmosphere, symbolically showcasing the sad and complex emotions of 'Yehua', a woman who chose death for love, with her classic cheongsam-style outfit and a glance back at the camera. The copy, "When will we meet again one day..." hints at a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death, amplifying the unique poignant sentiment that flows throughout the film. Notably, the two posters symbolically depict the relationship of two characters who deeply love each other yet face a fateful divergence through their contrasting gazes. The restrained color palette and classic design emphasize the elegant sentiment unique to Hong Kong melodrama, conveying the emotions of 〈Rouge The Original 4K〉 more profoundly as it returns once again.
