Peking Opera Blues

In the early-1910s chaos following the Republican Revolution, a hunt for the whereabouts of a rumored imperial treasure would embroil a general's daughter (Brigitte Lin) involved with renegades, an aspiring actress (Sally Yeh) barred from joining her impresario father's troupe, and a courtesan (Cherie Chung) looking to retrieve jewelry she pilfered. Tsui Hark's acclaimed blend of acrobatics, humor, and political and feminist themes co-stars Kenneth Tsang. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Cantonese; Subtitles: English. In Cantonese with English subtitles.
