Farewell My Concubine

A top mark for one of the best movies of all time. Do not
be put off by foreign language issues. Instead let
yourself be carried away with this wonderful story of the
lives of two Chinese opera stars, told with style and acted
with presence and sensitivity especially the extraordinary
performance of Leslie Cheung. The story itself would be
enough but better still it is told against a backdrop
covering the history and changes of everyday life in China
throughout a large part of the twentieth century.
Engrossing and unforgettable.
