VHS Movie Reviews of M Butterfly [VHS]

Summary: 5 Stars

I had seen this movie many years ago and when I tried to find it, it wasn't readily available.
It is a very good (true story) movie.
Well acted and produced.

Summary of M Butterfly [VHS]

Jeremy Irons gives another superb and underrated performance in M?Butterfly, an elegant adaptation of the Broadway hit by playwright David Henry Hwang. Irons plays a French diplomat in China in 1964 who falls in love with a star of the Beijing Opera, not realizing that the entrancing performer holds secrets that will ruin his life--that the singer is a spy for the Communist government is only the beginning of the diplomat's troubles. Though M?Butterfly may seem like a departure for director David Cronenberg (best known for horror and science fiction flicks like The Fly and Scanners), the themes of desire and self-deception fit comfortably into his oeuvre, alongside his adaptations of difficult novels like Naked Lunch and Crash. M?Butterfly, like the more popular movie The Crying Game, is a cunning examination of love and denial. Also featuring John Lone (The Last Emperor). --Bret Fetzer
