Shanghai Triad

Posted on September 17, 1996February 10, 2023 by Village Vidiot

“Shanghai Triad,” September 17, 1996 (1995), video.  Slow, beautiful Chinese movie that looks at Chinese gangster culture and family in the 1930s as a metaphor about Chinese life and corruption today. Could be better, but worth seeing subtitled.  This was one of my earliest reviews in this set.
