The film plays like the work of a fifth-generation Chinese hack faking a lavish Hollywood saga on an indie budget.

On the lush island of a Chinese port city, enormous houses dominate the mountainside. "Beauty Remains" is the story of two sisters--Fei and Ying--bound together by the will of their late father, and their shared love for a charismatic ex-boxer, Huang. They are two women whose paths have been dictated by the often cruel decrees of the men in their lives--two women who must somehow transcend that influence...or lose everything. --© Emerging Pictures [More]

Reviews for Beauty Remains
So beautifully filmed, it is especially sad that the script doesn't measure up.
Ann Hu's Beauty Remains is distinguished by a ghostly, intimate atmosphere that will linger with you long after the plot has faded.
A delicate figurine of a movie, Beauty Remains is an account of a tragic love triangle set in China in 1948, just before the Communists won the civil war.
