John Lone did such a magnificent performance playing Song Liling. He is so beautiful and portrayed so well being a woman in the movie. I was so struck with every of the scene he played in this movie. This movie is just so underrated😭

The most underrated film of all time. The critical response at the time was unenthusiastic and mean at worst. To me it was one of the most beautiful aesthetically satisfying experiences in cinema from the opening credits underscored by Howard Shore ´s music to the tragic finale.

Great movie! this is a story of self deception, on how Rene lived in his fantasy. John Lone and Jeremy Irons are wonderful as usual.

As an audience I was almost deceived, I was confused whether Song Liling was portrayed by an actress that possessed male features or by an exotically beautiful male actor. J Irons and J Lone’s chemistry on screen was second to none. I love the cinematography too, adding to the nostalgia only movies in the 90s could bring about.

My experience with the song, in 1979 a disco song about Madame Butterfly. So in Chinatown there was a theater for M. Butterfly the film. I still didn't know the Opera untill I was about 19 it became my favorite Opera because of CoCo San. I love how she sings about love and waits for the Robins of spring to return.

This is based in true story. It was a masterpiece but critics do not appreciate the film itself maybe there is touch of homosexuality in the film where gay films at that year when it shown were not click into mainstream. The gay films are truly embraced when Broke Mountain was shown and lately Call Me By Your Name. If it will be shown today, I believe it clicks and a box office hit. The audiences are ready now to see movie like this than it was decade ago.

Cronenberg's idea of casting a Song Liling who is very obviously male is interesting. But maybe the execution could have been better if the other actors, except Irons, had been consistently directed to treat and look at Song Liling as a man in drag. Then the emphasis on Gallimard's self-delusion would be very clear.

I must be frank, I'm also really surprised that this play picked up his interest. To me it's his best film. And hardly his: he stepped out of his skin here and onto the foreign soil. I'm amazed he didn't slip on it and fall into the gutter. However I do believe that someone else could have made a better film out of this story - finer, subtler, more intelligent, more poignant. I vote a remake.

"...it's about a cultural group that's quite unique and small". Nice. Have you ever heard of China? The country China emerged as one of the world's first civilizations (that is when USA were not even in anybody's dreams (or nightmares)). It is the world's third largest country, and the world's most populous country. There you go, "small cultural group".

First of all, he is talking about the Peking opera culture which I don't know much about, but it is likely very small in modern china. Second, viewing chinese culture as being the most rooted by nature of it being related to anchient china is entirely ignorant of what post communism china is like. During communist power many cultural and religious sites were demolished or converted to shrines to Mao because the party was strictly non-theist. Now the government is not nearly as strict but religion is still heavily restricted. The oldest living generation of China are products of an era of famine and social deteriation. Most westerners associate kung-fu, pandas and confucious with Chinese culture but actual Chinese culture relates to that sort of image superficially and that has been the case for at least a century.
