A scene where three women have a sleepover and discuss how they are going to kill a General is basically my ideal cinema

6Was andere sagen
The theater backdrop and its own set of internal rules are a perfect setting for an intersection of revolutionary politics and gender roles. Everyone is engaged in one kind of performance or another, and even the action scenes hurtle through the levels of the set. This movie is just constantly exposing new layers and reconfiguring itself.
Agitpop cinema. Let's put a show, kill the general, and bringing down the order (and some genre/gender barriers along the way). Tsui of nationalistic awe and punk suspicion at tradition (here in the figure of the Peking Opera inside the text and the multiple East/West cultural references throughout). Tsui and Oswald de Andrade would have a lot to talk of cultural anthropophagy and imperialism. Climax includes the best imagined version of the Odessa steps scene.
