‘Shanghai Blues' Review: Slapstick Fun in a 1984 Tsui Hark Picture
By the time he directed 'Shanghai Blues' in 1984, the protean Hong Kong cinema maestro Tsui Hark had demonstrated a consistently delight-inducing facility in any genre he touched — he had made a couple of impressive wuxia' (swordplay) films, each unusual; his 'Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind' was, implications of its title notwithstanding, a harrowing crime picture; and he had even made a cannibal-themed feature. With 'Blues,' Tsui found a slapstick comedy register that he would continue to refine and expand over his career, one that would inform even the more serious period epics he would make in the future. (And his splendid work continues; this year's relatively unheralded 'Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants' is great fun.) 'Blues' begins with a kiss under a bridge in the late 1930s and picks up again after World War II. Kenny Bee plays an optimistic songwriter who's also a bit of a klutz (an early gag has him repeatedly crowning his bandmates with the bell of a tuba). Sally Yeh is the winsome and amiable character known as Stool, who's living next door to the ambitious and tetchy songstress Shu-Shu, who's both commanding and funny as portrayed by Sylvia Chang. 'Blues,' playing now in a 40th anniversary restoration, is a constant charmer. Watching it is a buoyant experience even when the humor is a bit tasteless, including a bit involving mistaken sex partners during a blackout. Tsui's affection for his characters rings as clear as his love for screwball comedy antecedents; while the film won't commit to a 'Design for Living' denouement, Ernst Lubitsch would recognize a few of his touches here, even if they're delivered with cinematic exclamation points. Shanghai BluesRated PG. In Cantonese, with subtitles. Running time: 1 hour 43 minutes. In theaters.
