PRODUCT INFORMATION

The idyllic, beach-side life of a retired Triad boss, his daughter Lap (Joey Wong) and her boyfriend Rick (Kenny Bee), shatters when a mob favour turns into a bloody shootout. Trading her freedom for her father’s, Lap becomes mistress to Godfather Shen, while Rick goes into exile. Years later, as Shen unknowingly hires Rick as a hitman, Lap sees her chance at escape, while doe-eyed Triad gofer (Tony Leung) completes the doomed quadrangle.

Directed by the foremost stylist of the Hong Kong New Wave (and a mentor to Wong Kar-Wai), My Heart Is That Eternal Rose is the apotheosis of Patrick Tam’s time within the strictures of the Hong Kong mainstream. Fulfilling commercial requirements while elevating formula with a lush sense of style, My Heart Is That Eternal Rose sings with the painterly cinematography of Christopher Doyle and David Chung as Tam’s dream-like direction bridges the distance between the bullet ballets of a John Woo and the festering darkness of a David Lynch. It the blue jewel in the crown of the Hong Kong heroic bloodshed sub-genre, shining bright to this day.

Presented alongside two episodes from celebrated TV series C.I.D. (1976) directed by Patrick Tam; shot by David Chung; written by Joyce Chan.

Season 1, Episode 3 "Two Teddy Girls"
Two sisters have taken to random muggings to fuel their independence. Without boyfriends and no longer in touch with their family, Officer Sum (Cheung Lui) struggles to track them down.

Season 1, Episode 14 "Dawn, Noon, Dusk, Night"
A rookie cop (Simon Yam) follows up on allegations of child abuse; a jaded officer (Cheung Lui) stakes out buildings for a peeping tom and finds something much darker; a veteran detective (Ho Bik Kin) sadly investiages a violent murder at an old age home; their supervisor (Wong Yuen Sun) struggles to let loose after a long day of being interrogated by the newly formed Independent Commission Against Corruption.

These episodes of C.I.D were originally shot on 16mm reversal film, transferred to betacam in the 2000s and digitized in the early 2010s by Television Broadcasting Company (TVB).

Shipping

No, we only ship inside the US

Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.

We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.

Product

All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.

Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.

Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.

If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.

Other

We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
