A Beautiful Life (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Shu Qi ( If You Are The One) & Liu Ye ( Lan Yu) join hands for the heart-rending love story from blockbuster director Andrew Lau ( Look For A Star), which is set to be another trophy-magnet for the award-winning trio. The beautifully lensed A Beautiful Life follows a Hong Kong woman who struggles to make a living in Beijing, & the man she falls head over heels in love with no matter what the hands of fate bring them. Thanks to the powerful performances & chemistry of the leads, Andrew Lau has an easier time demonstrating with this film that he is equally adept at making a bittersweet romantic tearjerker. It should be noted, however, that fine acting isnt limited to the central pair, as co-stars like Olympic diver-turned-actor Tian Liang, starlet Feng Danying, & the always-reliable Anthony Wong also give scene-stealing turns in supporting roles.

Smart & beautiful, Li Peiru (Shu Qi) is trying to make some big bucks in Beijing for her family in Hong Kong. She works hard for a real estate agency, yet a hopeless affair with her married boss leaves her badly broken. After a drunken encounter with honest policeman Fang Zhendong (Liu Ye), she begins to enjoy his company whenever she feels down & lonely. Smitten with this broken-hearted girl, Zhendong is always there for her, giving her financial & emotional support without asking for anything in return. Still, life is always a series of setbacks for Peiru, & when her own business is doomed to failure, she decides to give up everything & drift back to Hong Kong. It is only then that she realizes Zhendong is all that she needs, but can true love prevail in the face of the cruelty of life?
