The movie is based on Lilian Lee’s book of the same name, and is inspired by the life of China’s first Beijing Opera superstar, Mei Lanfang. The movie takes us from the late Qing period through the founding of the Republic, the subsequent Japanese occupation and ending with the communists’ victory in the civil war. In 1993, Farewell To My Concubine won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, but was censored only weeks after its release in China. Certain elements of the movie such as suicide, the Cultural Revolution and not least homosexuality were considered sensitive. Later, a redacted version was released, but the original version is still considered one of the best Chinese movies ever made.
The movie will be with English subtitles, and we will as always start with an introduction to the historical background of the movie and Xiaopan’s signature cocktail.short 20 min introduction to the historical background of the movie and Xiaopan’s signature cocktail.
