Farewell My Concubine

Farewell My Concubine

New 30th Anniversary Uncut 4K Restoration

Chen Kaige’s much acclaimed, long out of print masterpiece chronicles the rise of two young stars of the Beijing Opera House, their turbulent relationship, and ultimate downfalls. Beginning in 1924 and spanning nearly half a century, Farewell My Concubine’s sumptuous narrative is interwoven with moments from some of the most troublesome times in modern Chinese history, including Japan’s 1937 invasion though to the Chinese Cultural Revolution and its aftermath. A new 30th anniversary 4K restoration of the film’s original cut, the Palme d’Or winner, and two-time Academy Award-nominated epic.
