Set in 1930s China, King of Masks is the beautifully filmed story of an aging street performer and master of Sichuan Change Art, (where a succession of masks is changed instantaneously). The master longs to adopt a son to pass on the secrets of his art. Yet when the right child suddenly appears, the outcome is far different than what he expects. Roger Ebert called King of Masks "a film of simplicity, beauty, and surprising emotional power." Part 1.
