One of the most lavish Hong Kong martial arts films ever made. BRIDE is the story of a fierce girl, Lien (Brigitte Lin Chin Hsia) who falls in love with her sworn enemy, Cho Yu Hang (Leslie Cheung). Romantic, adult and action packed. Reviews "[BRIDE] is long considered to be a definitive film of Hong Kong new wave. The story itself takes elements of classic Chinese fantasy and mythology and mixes it with a brooding modern narrative style. " —Mark Pollard, KungFuCinema.com "... simply one of the finest films ever made, classic beauty of Brigitte Lin, evil cult leader Francis Ng, perfectly complemented by Leslie Cheung's own beauty and irresistible charm. This is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, with well-defined characters, dollops of love, jealousy, hate, and betrayal. Overall, a lushly beautiful piece that deserves to be seen on the big screen." —Alison Jobling, Heroic Cinema		.		.
