Brilliant review!! I saw this for the first time in theaters last year. It instantly became one of my all time favorite films.

Thanks Daisuke! I have a Blu-ray release of Farewell My Concubine from a Korean distributor but the English subtitles aren't great so I'm really looking forward to revisitng this film.

Is that the Nova Media release? That one was so disappointing- not just a mediocre translation, but the picture quality was like a dvd rip. So glad Criterion gave this masterpiece an upgrade for the West.

I think this is a Chinese movie if I’m not mistaken

Yes I think you are right. And yes this is one important element that finds expression in the way that the film handles history in its plot and characters. So well done and excellent observation my friend. Please keep adding all these great points! You are making wonderful contributions. Warmest regards
