#ShanghaiExpress has a lot of shots that are beautifully composed and lit, including when #MarleneDietrich (Madeline/#ShangaiLily) disarms #AnnaMayWong (#HuiFei) from behind by pulling Anna's arms apart by her wrists.
The rage in Hui's face is matched in intensity by the look of fierce and instinctive protection in Lilly's.
Lilly's right cheek is partly framed by Hui's hair, Hui's head turned left 🔥🔥🔥
The way Lilly immediately turns away may be due to lesbian miscegenation being illegal.
