Review of Farewell My Concubine (1993) by Yue Y — 08 Jun 2007
Like many other Asian movies, "Farewell My Concubine" tends to exaggerate and romanticize the suffering of its characters; however, it is the sheer artistry and poignancy of its characters and story that truly define this masterpiece.
A tragic tale of unrequited love amidst the chaotic background of China's most turbulent cultural and social shift, "Farewell My Concubine" is not only a romantic tragedy but also a sobering reflection of the Communistic era.
