DVD - The White Countess
 "Click to view larger image")
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.
