A breathtakingly intimate romance unfolds against a sweeping backdrop of social upheaval in renowned director Chen Kaige&s sumptuous saga of passion, fate, and the transcendent possibilities of art. Spanning fifty years of twentieth-century Chinese history, Farewell My Concubine follows aspiring actors Cheng Dieyi (a heartbreaking Leslie Cheung) and Duan Xiaolou (Zhang Fengyi) as they emerge from a childhood of brutal training to become Beijing-opera stars, with life mirroring art as Dieyi&s unrequited love for Xiaolou and the country&s changing political tides engulf them in their own personal tragedies of jealousy and betrayal. The first Chinese film to win the Palme d&Or is epic filmmaking of the highest order—visually and emotionally ravishing from frame to exquisite frame.
