Review of Farewell My Concubine (1993) by Andrea B — 24 Oct 2007
This movie is so multi-layered that even though the narration is fairly traditional, and even though I have a fairly firm grasp on Chinese contemporary history and culture, I always come out with new insights.
Farewell resumes contemporary Chinese history (feudal China, Japanese occupation, New China, Cultural Revolution), and re-confirmed my belief that love and betrayal are indeed flip sides of the same coin.
