Perhaps Love (Blu-ray Disc)

The winner of six Hong Kong Film Awards, and China`s official Academy Award entry in 2005, Peter Chan`s PERHAPS LOVE is a lush and romantic musical melodrama in the tradition of CABARET or, more recently, MOULIN ROUGE. Takeshi Kaneshiro (HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS) plays Lin, a young actor, who has been given a part in a musical film where he must co-star with the woman who broke his heart years before when she left him for a famous director, the same director who is making the film. Further complicating the love-triangle story is the ironic fact that the film within the film is also about a love triangle. Using this ingenious plot device allows Chan to include numerous stylish dance and music numbers without making PERHAPS LOVE a typical musical--indeed, Chan is quick to stress that the film is not a musical, it is a love story with a musical in it.
