Shanghai RedSynopsis
A dramatic film about a young, contemporary mother, Meili Zhu
(Vivian Wu – Chinaman, The Pillow Book, The Joy Luck Club,), in an ever-changing Shanghai, China. Meili’s guilt over her husband’s death leads her into a double life of murder and deception where she eventually meets Michael Johnson (Richard Burgi – In Her Shoes, Fun with Dick and Jane, 24), an American expatriate from Chicago escaping from his own dark past. Shot in its entirety in Shanghai, China, Shanghai Red explores the conflicts caused by modernization on a tradition and old values.
