The Second Woman (2012)
Original title: 情谜
The Second Woman is a 2012 Chinese-language drama movie directed by Carol Lai Miu-Suet, with a running time of 1h 42m. It stars Shu Qi, Shawn Yue Man-Lok and Chen Shu.
One suspects writer-director Carol Lai may have harboured some Black Swan ambitions with a tale that also centers around a stage practitioner who embarks on an unwitting destructive journey when playing a role to die for. The Second Woman, whose Chinese title Romance Riddle may hold better clues as to how this film developed, being more of a guessing game that threw constant clues rather than a overly romantic film about twins falling in love with a man who decided it's perfectly OK to string both women along, until he discovers that this spells double trouble.
