Beautiful Men

人面桃花

杜海滨, 2005

China

2018


这是一部关于成都某同志酒吧一些从事反串演出演员的纪录片。通常酒吧的演出是在每晚10:00,一台节目大约有一个半小时,包括小品、中国传统舞剧、现代流行歌舞等等。在这段时间里,他们有的在完成自己作为女人的梦想,有的为了生存,也有的想在这个圈子里找寻安慰与快乐。他们生活在夜晚,他们生活在灯光下……你时常会恍惚舞台上的是“他们”,还是“她们”;但无论怎样,舞台上的他们个个“人面桃花”。


A documentary about ‘fan chuan’(drag) performers at a bar in Chengdu. At 10 in the dark night, they are looking for comfort and joy, or the fulfillment of ‘being’ a woman. They are Beautiful Men on the stage under the shadows and out in the light.
