Country: HK/CHI
Technical: col 156m
Director: Chen Kaige
Cast: Leslie Cheung, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li
Synopsis:
The career together of two brutally trained stars of the Beijing opera across the upheavals of 20th century China.
Review:
A powerful film in which the principals hardly seem to age and which almost makes one appreciate Chinese opera. The scene in which they are forced to deny all they hold dear by the cultural revolutionaries is hard to bear.
