The Shopaholics (DVD)

Cantonese super-starlet Cecilia Cheung stars in the Hong Kong romantic comedy SHOPAHOLICS. Mired in massive debt and in danger of losing her job, shopping addict Fong (Cheung) finds herself torn between the therapeutic support of her psychiatrist (Ching-wan Lau) and the romantic temptations of a fellow shopaholic (Jordan Chan). Directed by Ka-fai Wai (RUNNING ON KARMA, WU YEN), this breezy pop confection infuses its love-triangle shenanigans with a subtle critique of modern consumer culture. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
