DESCRIPTION:\n	With an introduction by Richard I. Suchenski. Followed by a 
 reception \n	\n	\n	Dir. Hou Hsiao-hsien. 1998\, 113 mins.&nbsp\;New 35mm p
 rint. With Tony Leung Chiu-wai\, Michiko Hada\, Carina Lau Ka-ling. Hou’s 
 ravishing\, lapidary chamber drama follows the fates of four “flower girls
 ” working together in a brothel in the British section of Shanghai in 1884
 . Inside the sealed\, illusory world of the flower house\, fading Crimson 
 fears losing the attention of Master Wang to Jasmin\, while naïve Jade all
 ows herself to be drawn into a suicide pact. “One of the most sublimely be
 autiful films I‘ve ever seen\, and one of the most unbearably sad. To watc
 h these characters break one another’s hearts\, and then to have your own 
 broken\, is to experience something that the movies rarely grant us—perfec
 tion.” (Manohla Dargis\, LA Weekly).&nbsp\;Richard I. Suchenski\, Director
 \, Center for Moving Image Arts at Bard College\, who organized the intern
 ationally touring retrospective\, will introduce the screening. \n\n\n	Tic
 kets: $12 ($9 senior citizens and students / free for Museum members). Ord
