Farewell My Concubine (1993): The story of two men, who met as apprentices in the Peking Opera, and stayed friends for over 50 years.
Director: Kaige Chen
Stars: Leslie Cheung, Fengyi Zhang and Li Gong
Lang: Mandarin (Eng Subtitled)
When the movie came out in 93, there was a lot of press about it. Not knowing what the movie was about (other than the title) it certainly turned out to be a surprisingly interesting story. It is about human relationships, interactions, dealings, etc. I got the feeling that I was missing some of the emotions of the conversations from the subtitles. Even though the story takes place in the early to mid 20th century China, it has relevance even to today's society. Good acting and Li Gong isn't bad to look at either. 8.0 is a good rating.
