Nomad / My Heart Is That Eternal Rose Limited Edition Blu-Ray
Patrick Tam, an icon of Hong Kong's new wave and mentor to Wong Kar-wai, worked with icons such as Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love), Leslie Cheung (Days of Being Wild), Kenny Bee (Armour of God) and others in these two unforgettable classics. In Nomad, two couples, equally rich and working class, come together and experience the excitement of youth. A deserter from the Red Army arrives and brings with him violence and chaos, leading to incredible twists in the plot and inspired scenes.
My Heart is That Eternal Rose finds Tam in the more familiar Heroic Bloodshed genre. A young couple is torn apart by a failed Triad job that forces Rick to move to the Philippines and Lap to become a gangster's moll. Six years later, they meet again, but their reunion only rekindles the danger that drove them apart.
Both films are beautifully photographed by David Chung (Once Upon a Time in China) and Christopher Doyle (Chungking Express) and are newly restored and available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.
