A lovely story about gender, age, and tradition, The King of Masks is a story about a solitary man seeking a disciple to whom to pass on his legacy. What he finds instead is a friend and intimate. An interesting tale about a traveling entertainer, the audience is afforded a look at village life, gender relations, and Chinese style penal authority. The cinematography is awesome - a picture tells a thousand words, as we all know. The child actor is very good. This movie could generate some interesting class discussions.
