Center Stage is set during China’s silent movie era and revolves around the life of the legendary gifted actress, RUAN Lingyu. With her sensitive portrayal, Maggie CHEUNG Man-yuk took her story abroad and won the best actress award at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival.
In the spring of 1935, silent movie star Ruan took her own life, shocking the world. Her funeral was attended by hundreds of thousands of mourning fans. Ruan entered the film world at the age of 16. In the short span of 9 years, she made 29 silent movies and became the idol of tens of thousands. As she rose to fame, she also rose to infamy with scandals over her private life. Her death at such an early age has given rise to much debate: did she kill herself because of her career? Or for love? In her farewell note, Ruan wrote four words – “criticism should be feared” – and gave her final condemnation on the merciless public.
本片改编自中国默片时代天才女演员阮玲玉的传奇一生。主角张曼玉丝丝入扣的演出技惊国际，赢得第四十二届柏林国际电影节最佳女主角。
1935年的春天，默片电影明星阮玲玉突然自杀，震动海内外，出殡当日数十万人涌上街头相送。阮玲玉16岁便投身影坛，在短短的九年里演出了29部默片，成为万人爱戴的演员，但其私生活亦同时遭恶意非议。社会大众对其自杀原因议论纷纷：因事业下滑，还是一团糟的感情？然而，她在遗书中，却留下 “人言可畏” 四字，作为她对多年来遭舆论逼害的最后控诉……

As a key figure in the Hong Kong Second Wave, Kwan constantly explores the power of female protagonists and their romantic struggles with sympathetic eyes, and such directorial credits include Rouge (1987), Full Moon in New York (1989), Center Stage (1992) and Red Rose White Rose (1994).
