Love Massacre 4K Restoration

This film will be screened in-person only.

Set in the United States and written by Joyce Chan, LOVE MASSACRE follows college student Ivy (Brigitte Lin) as she tries to help her friend Joy, who is depressed and delirious after a breakup. Ivy soon becomes involved with Joy’s married brother, Chu Chung. Suffering from a hereditary mental illness, Chung eventually spirals into violence as he breaks into Ivy’s dormitory and goes on a killing spree.

This unsettling, visually striking Hong Kong New Wave gem — thanks to William Chang’s debut as art director — exudes an experimental spirit, uses bold colours to express emotion on screen, and transforms Lin’s image as the golden girl of Taiwanese romantic dramas.
