Shanghai, 1936 was a crossroads for political intrigue, refugees
escaping turmoil, gathering military forces, international business, and
underworld culture. Two people caught in this maelstrom forge a bond on the
brink of the Japanese invasion: a beautiful Russian countess, reduced
by circumstances to supporting her family as a bar girl and taxi dancer;
and a blind former diplomat, devastated by the loss of his family in
political violence and disillusioned by the world's inability to make
peace. The story revolves around "The White Countess," the elegant
nightclub created by the diplomat to shut out the chaos and tragedy that
surround him. Starring Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave,
Lynn Redgrave and John Wood. Directed by James Ivory.
