Chinese art for fans of oriental culture
23 August 2020
AVERAGE. A film about a Chinese theater company (Chinese opera) that tries to survive the troubled Chinese revolutionary period throughout the 20th century. It was produced to commemorate 200 years of Beijing opera. The film is a little slow but very typical of that country's cinematography. It is a film to contemplate the positive aspects of this film, which are: photography, music, costumes, dance, and, mainly, of the Chinese culture of the last century and all the Beijing theatrical tradition. For those who enjoy all this, this is a recommended film. It is worth it for that. I found the film quite long (almost 3 hours long) and even tiring to watch. So I rated it as average.
