A true cinematic wonder

Peking Opera Blues is a testament to the eccentric genius of Tsui Hark, his bizarre sensibilities and almost impenetrable filmmaking style which hasn't always yielded the best results, but here everything works. Blues is a movie that combines more genres and Hong Kong-specific themes than one could possibly imagine. An unlikely concoction of historical and political intrigue, acrobatic action, screwball comedy and unabashed romanticism; all the while it mocks China for its complete ignorance of democracy. Peking Opera Blues is a true cinematic wonder and a genuine Hong Kong classic.
