Lu-lu's Deeply Love

Lulu, whose real name was Ya-wen in her youth, went dancing with her classmates in high school. On her way home, she took a taxi and was violently raped by the driver. Knowing their daughter was no longer a virgin, Ya-wen's parents had no choice but to marry her off to a taxi driver named Lao Liu. Ya-wen, who had always been a good student, had to give up her plans to go to university and instead took a job at a trading company. After the rape, Ya-wen developed a fear of red, inexplicably trampling on a colleague's new red clothes and tearing up a pair of sexy red lingerie her husband had bought her. One day, her husband, Lao Liu, went out for a night of revelry with his colleagues and had sex with a woman at a club. Back home, he played mahjong with friends, and during the game, he inadvertently blurted out. He boasted that five or six years ago, while drunk driving, his lust was aroused.

Directed by Ng Yi, Lu-lu's Deeply Love leans on a strong ensemble — Ng Yee-San, Mok Hin-Sam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1994.
