Farewell My Concubine stars Leslie Cheung as a Beijing opera performer, and chronicles relationships of love and loss thorugh decades of fame, war, and revolution. Originally released in 1993, the film was banned in Mainland China shortly after release, with the ban only lifted after heavy censoring. Farewell My Concubine has been heralded for its depictions of gender and sexuality, tying together both the intimate and personal, and the grand scale of societal movements and strife.
