Lan Xin Da Ju Yuan - Saturday Fiction Directed by Ye Lou

In the 1930s, Shanghai still had parts of the city under foreign domination through concessions. England, the United States, France and others like Italy had the settlements. The city was a hotbed of languages and nationalities. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, this promiscuity turned into a dangerous mix. Shanghai became the battlefield for the secret services of the world. It is the mysterious, fascinating background, ideal for conceiving an espionage story with a theatrical structure. The film is Lan Xin Da Ju Yuan - Saturday Fiction by director Ye Lou, presented at the 76th Venice Film Festival. It is a story of spies, in a Shanghai of the past, with a bewitching woman.
