 | | Nearly all her works of bourgeois romanticism are set in Shanghai, and many have been made into arthouse films (see Eighteen Springs). | | | It was the intellectual battleground between socialist writers who concentrated on critical realism (pioneered by Lu Xun and Mao Dun) and the more bourgeois, more romantically and aesthetically inclined writers (such as Shi Zhecun, Shao Xunmei, Ye Lingfeng, Eileen Chang). | | | Malraux won the 1933 Prix Goncourt of literature for the novel. |

| | Fear and Loathing in Shanghai / `Triad' is a story of gangland vice |
| | Dubbed ``queen of Shanghai'' by the underlings who serve her lover, Xiao gives petulant, imperious attitude around the clock -- especially when Shuisheng (Wang Xiao Xiao), a clumsy 14-year-old boy, is made her servant. | | | Through him, we see the machinations of the drug world, the warfare of rival gangs, the nightclub where Xiao fronts a row of chorus girls, performing her pouty love songs with a vixen's grin and a watery sway of her hips. | | | Pampered and spoiled, Xiao acts the diva even when she isn't singing and dancing at a ritzy nightclub. |

| | Bijou, who is held in a golden cage without realizing it at first, her crumbling social relationship to the world around her, and ultimately her recognition of her own value. | | | It is especially his visual vocabulary that makes films, such as his 1992 classic "Raise the Red Lantern," dramatic masterpieces, as introduces the viewer into a world they usually know very little about. | | | Told through the eyes of a 12-year old boy, Shuisheng (Wang Xiaoxiao), the film enters the seedy world of the Chinese triads during the 1930s. |

| | deseretnews.com - Movie review: Shanghai Triad Deseret Morning News Web edition |
| | Gorgeously photographed, with lavish period details and flamboyant nightclub sequences, "Shanghai Triad" is a terrific example of an artistic director turning a genre piece into something much more. | | | With atmosphere to spare, "Shanghai Triad" takes us from the city's backstreet warehouses to its glittering nightclubs, and eventually to a remote island where the final reels reveal the characters' true colors with a few unexpected twists. | | | "Shanghai Triad" is rated R, but it's primarily for a scene that has Bijou cussing as she tears up her room in a rage; the violence and sex are quite discreet, especially by modern American standards. |

| | This last film, which is never involving and often pointless and repetitive, is about the powerful boss (Li Baotian) of a Shanghai crime triad and his mistress, Xiao Jingbao (Gong Li), a nightclub singer who mocks and taunts him, and whose nickname is Bijou. | | | The scenes set in Bijou's nightclub have a nice smoky, decadent, sensuous look, and Bijou is in the great tradition of gangster movies where the boss' girlfriend is the lead singer: She does not sing nearly as well as the boss thinks she does. | | | "Shanghai Triad" plays like a movie in which some scenes are missing, and others have been stretched out to make up the difference. |

| | Though she proves a cruel mistress at home, she softens once they withdraw to the small island. | | | Her mediocre song-and-dance numbers at Tang's nightclub regularly draw snickers and nudges when he isn't looking. | | | The wind in the rushes, the slap of the sea remind her of her girlhood and she soon realizes the insignificance of furs and jewels in this remote place. |

| | SHANGHAI TRIAD (An Illusion review by Joan Ellis.) |
| | Moving from the dim murkiness of the city into the bright glitz of the nightclub where Bijou sings is an unexpected, fascinating contrast. | | | The boss of the drug gang has made his mistress, Bijou (Gong Li), "the queen of Shanghai," and Shuisheng is to be in constant attendance to her, standing through the night by her door to answer any need. | | | In "Shanghai Triad," as in many other fine Asian films, prolonging the punishment seems to be part of the culture of crime, and it is very hard to watch. |

| | As Shanghai’s popular chanteuse, Li wiggles her way through some entertaining cabaret numbers, juggles her lovers, and moves through the film with imperial swagger. | | | This is Zhang’s vision of lost innocence as the boy witnesses a ruthless fight for the control of the mob which eventually entangles the beautiful Bijou. | | | This time out Zhang delivers something akin to a Warner’s 1940’s gangster melodrama with the added layer of a studied examination of mores and political matter. |
