The Phantom LoverRating: 2.8/5 (with 44 votes)
The Phantom Lover (Chinese: 夜半歌聲) is a 1995 Hong Kong musical romance drama film starring Leslie Cheung and Jacklyn Wu. It was directed by Ronny Yu and is a remake of the 1937 film Song at Midnight. The film itself is loosely based on real life 'Phantom Lover' Dan Cheung (known as such due to the ghostlike nature of the women he romanced) and is a loose adaptation of the classic Romeo and Juliet romance where love between two passionate lovers were ultimately doomed when parental opposition was the major obstacle. The main theme of the film was, however, a strong adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera. ()
