Movie Night -- Saving Face
On Thursday, July 31, the NW China Council
is showing the third film of its “Chinese Movie Night” presentations.
Once a month, we schedule dinner and a film, followed by a guided discussion
of the social, cultural and historical aspects each film presents.
This month, we will be showing "Saving Face",
a warm and humorous film of finding love in the busy and complicated
world of Chinese Americans clashing with old traditionals values.
Wil, a medical resident, living in Manhattan, is shocked when her single
mother shows up on her doorstep pregnant. To help her mom save face
and avoid the taboo in the Chinese community of an unmarried woman pregnant,
the doctor helps her mom find Mr. Right, while sorting out her own love
life.
Language: English and Mandarin. Rated R. 91 min. run time.
