It is only fitting that Eileen Chang should be a favorite with filmmakers across generations. Among her early works were film reviews for an English-language newspaper in Shanghai. She showed great promise as a scriptwriter and ended up leaving a couple of gems in her literary legacy that were specifically for the big screen.
Her stories and novels have a heightened sensibility toward anything visual or sensory but most film adaptations have failed to capture her exquisite essence.
