Summary: From case cover: Woman Demon Human is a shining example of the "New Chinese Cinema" woven with the Chinese "opera film" whose brilliant allegories reveal so much with extraordinary flair. No less could be expected from the masterful hand of brilliant female director Huang Shuqin. Born into the world of her parent's Peking Opera Company, a young girl follows her dreams and becomes a professional actress. With her personal world marked by trauma, she submerges herself into her stage roles. Yet she dreams of more: she wants to play the major 'male' roles. Will this struggle for modernity and equal rights come through? Or will she be forever trapped in the confinements of traditional culture, living with her own personal ghosts?
