Chinese Ghost Story DVD

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Based in traditional China (yep the cool costumes too!) it's a love story between a ghost and a mortal.

The lead couple is played by Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong. Joey is a ghost belonging to a main ghost who controls her spirit. She has to go out and take the souls of young men in order to sustain the main ghost. She comes across Leslie (a clueless scholar) and was supposed to take his soul, but perhaps it was love at first sight because she didn't take his life.
