<i>Prior BLOCKBUSTER Rental.<br />The King of Masks</i> tells a tale steeped in ancient tradition simultaneously challenging the sociosexual inequity still plaguing China today. On the streets of Szechuan Province in the 1930s the aged King of Masks sole living master of "change-face" opera delights and frightens audiences with the secret art of lightning-quick mask-shifting. His fondest wish is to pass on his skill to a male heir before he dies. Famous female impersonator Liang Sao Lang craves knowledge of the king's secret technique offering to relieve the old man's poverty by taking him into his opera troupe. The king declines: what sort of heir would this half-female creature make Instead he buys an orphan on the black market joyously showing him off as his grandson and heir. But soon the child is forced to disclose a dreaded secret--one that effectively renders him a person of no value according to Chinese custom. In the king's eyes the kid goes from "beloved grandson" to "stupid crook" and both the old man and the child must pay dearly for his bigotry before they can know joy again. A deeply moving film simply told and superbly acted. <i>--Laura Mirsky</i> Sony Pictures Home E
