Ripples of Desire (2012) (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Taiwan Version)
A rare costume film from Taiwan, Ripples of Desire brings together four of Taiwan’s most popular stars: Michelle Chen and Ivy Chen, playing sisters again after Hear Me, and television idols Joe Cheng (It Started with a Kiss) and Jerry Yan (Magic Kitchen) of F4. Known for the lesbian dramas Spider Lilies and Drifting Flowers, Zero Chou directs this handsome period romance set in Taiwan over 300 years ago during the maritime ban. The visually and emotionally beguiling tale transports audiences back to a poetic time of tragic courtesans, dashing pirates and thwarted love. Hong Kong stars Simon Yam and Sandra Ng and Mainland actors Li Xiaoran and Mao Zijun also co-star in this ambitious period drama, which poses questions about the will and status of women amid its lyrical romance and aesthetic splendor.
After losing their father at sea, sisters White Snow (Michelle Chen) and White Frost (Ivy Chen) are taken in by Madame Moon (Sandra Ng) and groomed into the top courtesans at the House of Flowers. Innocent and kindhearted, Snow enchants many with her beautiful voice, including her new music teacher Wen (Joe Cheng), but she suffers from a disease that cannot be known. Ambitious and calculating, Frost sees the world with more cynical eyes and hides her feelings for Scarface (Jerry Yan), the right-hand man of seafaring outlaw Master Hai (Simon Yam). As courtesans, Snow and Frost know their destinies are out of their own grasps, but their hearts cannot turn back the ripples of desire and change.
This edition comes with four postcards and special features (behind-the-scenes, Shanghai and Cannes Film Festivals footage)..
