After many years of supporting roles in Hollywood, Anna May Wong left for Europe in search of better roles. And did she find one! Her electric, sexually-charged performance in Piccadilly is a revelation. Wong is mesmerizing as Shosho, the Chinese scullery maid who overnight becomes the toast of London — and the object of sexual desire of all around her. The camera adores Wong, and against Alfred Junge's astonishing set design, her beauty glows in every frame. Piccadilly was the brilliant apex to Dupont's trilogy of backstage life (Variete and Moulin Rouge), showcasing the director's signature mix of great acting, amazing imagery and astonishing camera movements.
