Love can be bittersweet - though sometimes, it's far more bitter than sweet. That's the prevailing feeling from Perhaps Love, the new Hong Kong musical from director Peter Chan. Takeshi Kaneshiro stars as Lin Jian-Dong, a Hong Kong heartthrob arriving in Shanghai to work on a new musical from director Nie Wen (Jacky Cheung).
The film's leading lady is Sun Na (Zhou Xun), a driven-for-success actress with a popularity that extends to Hollywood. Sun Na has long been Nie Wen's partner - both on the screen and off - but this new collaboration has issues. Nie Wen doubts his creative fire, and looks to his new film to reassert his once-established filmmaking genius. Thanks to Nie Wen's artistic temperament, the relationship between the two suffers from some strain.
But with the arrival of Jian-Dong, Nie Wen and Sun Na's relationship is about to get a whole lot messier. The plot of Nie Wen's musical concerns a pair of young lovers, who are separated when the girl loses her memory. The girl (played by Sun Na) is taken in by a circus ringmaster. She becomes a showgirl, and she and the ringmaster fall in love. Eventually, the boy (played by Jian-Dong) shows up, and strives to rekindle their love. The role of the ringmaster has yet to be cast, so Nie Wen eventually places himself in the role. But what Nie Wen doesn't know is that his musical is a dead ringer for reality (cinematic reality, anyway). Jian-Dong and Sun Na were actually in love ten years prior, and the dissolution of their love had everything to do with Sun Na's ambition. Now, she merely wants to forget her past, but Jian-Dong is here to right that wrong. Nie Wen, like the ringmaster, is the third party who can only watch as his new love is reunited with her old one. Art mirrors reality, and soon Nie Wen's script begins to change to reflect life. There's also singing.
