Shu Qi doubles your pleasure but maybe not your fun in The Second Woman, from director Carol Lai (Naraka 19, Floating Landscape). The award-winning actress plays twins in this mystery-drama-thriller about sisters Huixiang (Shu Qi) and Bao (duh, also Shu Qi), who have a potentially murderous falling out. As usual, chief among their conflicts is love; the two have a simmering feud over Nan (a typical Shawn Yue), Bao’s boyfriend and the star of The Legend of the Plum Blossom, a stage production in which Bao has a small role. Bao is also the understudy to lead actress Amy (Chen Shu), who’s dissatisfied with Bao’s performances. One day, Bao is sick and Huaxiang, who’s older and seemingly more mature, offers to be the secret stand-in.
