Description

[Machine Translation] Winner of the Palme d'Or Grand Prize at the 1993 Cannes International Film Festival. The golden masterpiece is finally available on Blu-ray! This moving film depicts the love-hate relationship between two actors performing the Peking Opera classic "The High Priestess" along with the turbulent history of China over a 50-year period from 1925 under the Kuomintang regime to the end of the 1970s, interrupted by the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s! A masterpiece by Chen Kaigeau, the standard-bearer of the fifth generation of Chinese filmmakers. A dream come true for Leslie Cheung and Gong Li! --Beijing. Two actors, Tuan Xiaolou and Chong Tia-yi, who have been trained at a Beijing Opera training school since their boyhood, grow up protecting and adoring each other like brothers. The strong and sturdy Tuan was a leading actor, while the slender and beautiful Chong was a female-form actor, and both became popular as famous actors in the Peking Opera production of "The Princess Supreme. The two are both subject to the power of the time during the turbulent period of Japanese colonial rule, World War II, the establishment of the Communist Party, and the Cultural Revolution. Chung is in love with Tuan, but Tuan marries Chu Shen, a high-class prostitute. A love-hate love triangle. This is an epic poem that depicts the tragic love of people living in a turbulent China. Commentary leaflet (Hana Washitani/Film Studies) enclosed.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: press conference, interview, trailer
