The lives of both Pan and Song are marked by a plethora of cinematic elements - full of drama, color and emotion. Fittingly, films are integral to both exhibitions.
The M+ show features extended clips from two films in which Song had roles. These include director Mi Jiashan's rarely screened absurdist comedy Troubleshooters (1989), in which Song is present in a wild fashion show with the characters in contemporary and traditional outfits. She also appeared in Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor (1987), playing the titular character's mother. The film won nine Academy Awards, including one for best costume design.
