Ombres de soie Blu-ray

Ombres de soie traces the relationship between two Chinese women in Shanghai in 1935.

“An astounding low-budget achievement (in which 1970s Paris passes for 1930s Shanghai), this entrancing film evokes the Marguerite Duras of India Song, which is no accident: Stephen explicitly wished for Ombres de soie to be a counterpoint to India Song, from an Asian woman’s point of view. “ – New York Film Festival
