"The B-17 Flying Fortress became an icon of American air power in World War II, but its legacy is written by the stories of the crews who flew it. In 10 GOOD MEN, ten veterans recount their experiences from across the full span of the air war in Europe. Pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and gunners speak candidly about their missions, training, and survival—some shot down and captured, others completing dozens of sorties. Structured chronologically, the film traces the Allied air campaign's evolution: early daylight raids met with huge losses, the arrival of long-range fighter escorts, the evolution of German flak and fighter strategies, and the final push that helped the Allies win the war. The narrative builds through the veterans themselves—men reflecting, eight decades later, on what they endured, what it cost, and why it matters today. Supported by newly restored archival footage from both American and German archives, original photography, and modern interviews, 10 Good Men documents both the machinery of war and the humanity behind it. It serves as a testament to a generation now in its final years and to the role they played in defining the course of history."

Cheng Dieyi (Leslie Cheung) and Duan Xiaolou (Zhang Fengyi) grow up enduring the harsh training of the Peking Opera Academy, where instructors regularly beat the students to instill in them the discipline needed to master the complex physical and vocal techniques of this ancient art. As the two boys mature, they develop complementary talents: Dieyi, with his fine, delicate features, assumes the female roles while Xiaolou plays masculine warlords. Their dramatic identities become real for Dieyi when he falls in love with Xiaolou, who fails to fully reciprocate his affections and marries a courtesan, Juxian (Gong Li), creating a dangerous, jealousy-filled romantic triangle. Hailed as a “cultural achievement” (The New York Times) and widely considered one of the most important motion pictures ever made, FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE is a “gorgeous, intoxicating epic” (Los Angeles Times) that is both “visually spectacular” and “sumptuous in every respect” (Time Out). Spanning 50 years from the early 20th century to the tumultuous Cultural Revolution, Chen Kaige's passionate, exquisitely shot film captures the vast historical scope of a changing country while revealing the intimate and touching details of a unique, tender, heartrending love story. Based on the bestselling novel by Lillian Lee, it was selected as one of the “100 Best Films in Global History” by TIME Magazine, was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and remains the only Chinese-language film to ever win the Palme d’Or.
