An icon of the Hong Kong New Wave and mentor to Wong Kar-wai, Patrick Tam worked with icons including Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love), Kenny Bee (Armour of God) and others in this inimitable classic stunningly shot by Christopher Doyle (Chunking Express).
My Heart is That Eternal Rose finds Tam in the Heroic Bloodshed genre. A young couple are torn apart by a botched Triad job that forces Rick to relocate to the Philippines and Lap to become a gangster’s moll. Six years later they meet again but their reunion only reignites the danger that drove them apart.
