Director Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine is a breathtaking opus of intimate passion, unbridled colour, and the timeless frailty of love - now joining Imprint Asia on 4K UHD with brand NEW Dolby Vision grading in a Limited Edition Hardbox. Two boys meet at an opera training school in Peking in 1924. Their resulting friendship will span nearly 70 years and endure some of the most troublesome times in China's history. Starring Leslie Cheung, Zhang Fengyi, and Imprint favourite Gong Li, this masterpiece of filmmaking is considered a landmark entry in Chinese cinema, remaining the only Chinese-language film to be awarded the Palme d'Or, and is named as one of the 100 Best Films in Global History by Time Magazine. 1500 copies only.
