Hong Kong New Wave icon Stanley Kwan assembles a powerhouse cast for his first full-length feature in nearly a decade. Cantopop A-listers Sammi Cheng and Gigi Leung play two leading actresses feuding amidst the behind-the-scenes chaos of their soon-to-open stage production. For his long-awaited return, Kwan smartly explores the disparate cultures of show business and sisterhood, giving voice to marginalized communities while commenting engagingly on the dismal state of art and film in Hong Kong.

簡介

一世人兩姊妹，句句夭心夭肺，不是冤家不聚頭，始終山水有相逢。蜚聲國際大導演炮製舞台劇，兩大女主角交手，由台前鬥到幕後。首演前七日綵排，拉開錯綜複雜人際關係，逐步揭露八個女人台上台下恩怨情仇。關錦鵬睽違多年，執起導筒再探女人心。除了鄭秀文、梁詠琪互鬥演技火花四溢，其他演員亦大放異彩，白百何風流倜儻，甘國亮更以驚喜造型爭妍鬥麗。全程本地拍攝，笑盡城中荒唐事，並特意以大會堂為舞台，拍出莫捨莫忘的香港情懷。
