The true story of Mei Lanfang, China's greatest opera star; a husband and father whose world-wide fame came from the portrayal of women. His fascinating life was the basis for the feature film Farewell My Concubine.
A beautiful woman moves demurely, but with a hint of seduction. It's impossible to tell that the beautiful woman we're seeing up on the stage is actually played by a man.
The Worlds of Mei Lanfang reveals the life and career of Mei Lanfang - who became an international sensation for his portrayals of women.
English narration; English and Chinese dialogue with English subtitles.
