AB - The film Flowers of Shanghai is a unique work by Hou Hsiao-hsien, marking his first attempt to completely move beyond Taiwan and shift the focus of the narrative to mainland China. While maintaining the aesthetic legacy of his previous works, the film also introduces innovative elements. In this film, Hou establishes two imaginative spaces. The first is an imagination of the “lilong” (里弄) space found in the novel, and the second is an imagined recreation of the late Qing dynasty period in Shanghai. Through concentrated mise-en-scène techniques and fluid long takes, Hou unfolds a story that intertwines and disperses across four different “lilong” spaces. This study explores how Hou, based on the novel, imagines the high-class courtesan culture of late 19th century Shanghai and how he spatially expresses this through cinematic imagery.
