ROUGE 1987 A LOVE STORY

SAI YING PUN, HONG KONG, 2020

By Stephanie Lam

‘Rouge’ is an iconic 1987 movie starring Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, two of Hong Kong’s all-time biggest stars. The film is largely staged in 1930s Shek Tong Tsui and filmed there on location in 1987. This walking route retraces the steps of the star-crossed lovers and visits some of the locations featured in the film. A nostalgic journey through time, to 1930s and 1980s Hong Kong.
