Review of Farewell My Concubine (1993) by X. T — 15 Sep 2006
This is what I call an epic. I am astonished at how Chen Kaige managed to tie together the relationship and drama between the main characters and the historical backdrop so seamlessly. The performances by Fengyi Zhang, Gong Li, and Ge You, and especially Leslie Cheung were unbelievable.
Even the child actors were flawless. The story is so heartbreaking that I shed tears at the end. This is easily one of the best Chinese films ever. The first Chinese film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
