Lady in Black (1987)
Reviewed by: bastardswordsman on 2002-03-18
What starts off as a intriguing story of family strife soon disappointingly descends into a megamelodrama of epic proportions. Which threw me slightly off-kilt initially. However, should you take heed of this warning and not be put off, then LADY IN BLACK should not be altogether unworthy of 90 minutes of your attention.

The plot is outlined elsewhere here (check links), so I feel it unnecessary to elaborate much more in that respect. Brigitte Lin's acting, the syrupy soundtrack and possibly the most annoying kid ever to grace HK screens (that is no mean feat), all culminate to bring the viewer a somewhat ridiculous piece of cinema.

So, a cautious recommendation - hopefully you will laugh as often as I....
