Winner of the Silver Bear at this year's Berlin Film Festival, BLUSH
describes the contrasting but interwoven fates of two prostitutes who are
forced to adjust to new lifestyles after the Communist takover of China in
1949. Set in the picturesque canal city of Suzhou (called China's Venice),
the film is an exotic, visually ravishing portrayal of the changes wrought
on individual lives by the larger upheaval taking place in Chinese society
during an era of turmoil and "reeducation."
