Movie review
In fact, it is public knowledge that Kaige, as a Red Guard, denounced his father as a bourgeois artist, therefore an enemy of the revolution. Kaige apologizes profusely for all this. Douz, the son of a prostitute, has a finger amputated in order to be accepted into the Peking Opera. The delicate bastard is trained hard to play female roles and has to give up his personality at the cost of much pain and moral humiliation. Playing with the male Shitou, Dizu has made him a friend and protector. When the Japanese invaded China in 1937, the two friends became the biggest artistic attraction in Beijing. From the opera Farewell to my concubine, life imitates the plot, which is a triangle formed by the presence of the prostitute Juxian. Love/hate relationships, jealousy, envy, superiority, submission, contempt culminate in a cultural revolution, an absurd catharsis of mutual disloyalty and betrayal. A solid masterpiece with tight timing and impeccable performance.
