Flowers of Shanghai



DUMP

Even with Tony Leung among the cast, this was a horrible movie. A total waste of time. I usually don't mind subtitles but this was a super slow movie. Sometimes you will be watching a person doing absolutely nothing for a few minutes. On the big screen, even 30 seconds of doing nothing is bad.

The movie was also very dark and gloomy. I know the director wanted to show the flower houses in the 19th century with girls and opium, but it was very difficult to watch. There was no point to the film.
