I kind of disagree with most of the comments here. Even though it's not a bad film, particularly the last twenty minutes which were pretty good, I felt as if the story was rushed. ''Farewell my concubine'' was made by Kaige Chen the same year than ''M.Butterfly'', and covers the same themes. Chen's movie is nevertheless so much stronger in every aspect than Cronenberg's and I recommand to see both to be able to judge fairly ''M. Butterfly'' for what it could have been. Cronenberg failed, in my opinion, to delivers the beauty and mysteries of the Orient, and even his French students manifestation felt unatural and faked. I feel as if he decided to do a movie about something he doesn't know at all. 8 years 11 months ago -
