Description de l'ouvrage :
A Queer Film Classic: a consideration of Chen Kaige's acclaimed 1992 film set in the mid-twentieth century about two male Peking opera stars and the woman who comes between them, all set against the political turmoil of a China in transition. The film's treatment of gender performance and homosexuality was a first in Chinese cinema, and the subject of much controversy there. The movie, which helped to bring contemporary Chinese films onto the world stage, won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival (the first Chinese film to do so), and it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Revue de Presse :
Arsenal Pulp Press's Queer Film Classic series has established itself as the premiere source of critical acumen about queer film. This year's titles - three inaugurated the series in 2009 - combine scholarship with cultural context, assessing the films sometimes almost scene-by-scene and always with an eye as to what makes the movies relevant both historically and contemporaneously.
-Richard Labonte, Book Marks ― Book Marks
An intimate, provocative and original look at the film ... I left this book with a deep understanding not only of the film itself but also the way in which sexuality and gender has developed and grown in China in the last two centuries.
-GScene magazine (UK) ― GScene
This small volume is the perfect accompaniment to Chen Kaige's ground-breaking film of the same name ... This book should be included in any collection that holds the film Farewell my Concubine, and every library should own this unique and provocative film.
