A very intense film where you wouldn't expect it to be one of the best blends of personal drama, human drama, and societal drama. But that's exactly what you get from it, and on top of that, you also have very powerful scenes that are capable of etching themselves into your memory for a long time. A film that doesn't let you catch your breath.

Life – masks – theatre. Chinese actors’ relationship to Chinese opera and Chinese opera’s relationship to the rest of society during five decades of Chinese history. Thanks to the colourfulness and composition of the shots, Farewell My Concubine is a captivating work that is not in any way harmed by its length. On the contrary, after an hour I had become accustomed to the different cultural environment and began to get into the story. The film contains historical facts, but they are less important than the atmosphere of the given era and opera’s significance within it. After the opening training of the future artists and the closing brutal suppression of one theatre by another (communist), this visually poetic film is not in any way indebted to China’s reputation as a harsh land. 80%
