Hong Kong Cinema Classics Series: Peking Opera Blues (1986)

In the aftermath of China’s first democratic revolution, three high-spirited young women from very different backgrounds cross paths on a quest for liberation. Fate finds the three joining forces to discover their respective warriors within. Elegantly blending action, comedy, and social satire into a bright and colorful production (much like Peking Opera itself), Peking Opera Blues boasts Hark’s energetic filmmaking style at the height of his powers, along with the considerable charms of its three leads, and remains an acclaimed classic of Hong Kong cinema.
