    Ever since I stumbled upon the color photographs of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky (taken ~ 1911-1915), I'm blown away by how much more tangible the past becomes simply by color enhancement. And now, here, with sound and movement, brings these women beyond the realm of ornate set props. You can practically sense they had a giddy morning, getting ready for the film shoot; and when the camera's turn off, how much more leisure and socializing before the obligations of the day turn this moment into a memory.

    The ladies so beautiful. The men of Shanghai were so lucky to see them in real life. China was getting ready for much war and sadness soon after this film. I hope the ladies survived.
