FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE is a 1993 Chinese epic historical drama film, directed by Chen Kaige. Selected as one of the “100 Best Films in Global History” by TIME Magazine, it was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and remains the only Chinese-language film to ever win the Palme d’Or.
Spanning 50 years from the early 20th century to 1970s, the exquisitely shot film captures the vast historical scope of a changing country while revealing the intimate and touching details of an epic tale of theater, gender, love, and class, as two Beijing opera actors navigate political turmoil while their friendship evolves over the decades.
