Love Unto Waste | Blu-ray (88 Films)
On January 20, 2025, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region B) for for Rouge, a 1986 film directed by Stanley Kwan (Centre Stage) that stars Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (My Heart is that Eternal Rose), Chow Yun-Fat (The Head Hunter), Elaine Jin (Beijing Love Story) and Irene Wan Pik-Ha (Bloody Brotherhood).
In this 1986 masterpiece by acclaimed director Stanley Kwan, Love Unto Waste is a moody blend of romance, mystery, and urban tension. Tony Leung stars as a listless young man drifting through the glamorous yet hollow nightlife of 1980s Hong Kong. When his close friend is found murdered, Tony and his friends find themselves entangled in an emotional and psychological struggle to make sense of their shattered lives.
Chow Yun-Fat delivers a riveting performance as Inspector Lan, a sharp but world weary detective who delves into the case, forcing Tony to confront not only the crime but his own fragmented relationships. The film’s haunting atmosphere, introspective characters, and stylish direction make it a poignant reflection on love, loss, and disconnection in a fast-paced, ever-changing city.
