The Second Woman
With a story that also centers on a stage practitioner who embarks on an unwitting destructive journey while playing a role to die for, one suspects writer-director Carol Lai may have harbored some Black Swan ambitions. The Second Woman, whose Chinese title Romance Riddle may hold more clues as to how this film developed, being more of a guessing game that threw constant clues rather than an overly romantic film about twins falling in love with a man who decides it's perfectly OK to string both women along, until he discovers that this spells double trouble.
