Critics acclaim this fascinating look into the Yang Ban Xi - colorful, amusing musicals that were the only government-approved entertainment during China's Cultural Revolution. Though they were fiercely propagandistic, these films, a delightful blend of high and low culture, enjoyed immense popularity in China where they have become a hip attraction today. Director Yan Ting Yuen explores this phenomenon with humor and irony in an eye-opening look at China's past and its rapidly evolving present.
