Synopsis

The setting is Beijing in 1913. The colorful, bustling Peking Opera is presented as a macrocosm of the culture at large, complete with political and romantic intrigues among the performers and audiences. Tsui Hark’s follow-up to SHANGHAI BLUES is a perfect combination of farce, romance, and political subversion.
