Blue Sun Palace at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on Thursday 17 July. Constance Tsang's debut feature follows two Chinese migrants working in New York, whose bond helps them endure their circumstances. Part of EAFFI Discoveries.
Shot in beautiful 35mm film, Chinese American writer-director Constance Tsang’s luminous debut feature is a delicate, atmospheric melodrama set in Flushing, Queens, NYC. Amy (Ke-Xi Wu) and Didi (Haipeng Xu), two Chinese migrants work in a small parlour salon. Uprooted and far from their loved ones, their deep sisterhood helps them survive the temporal and emotional toll their work demands in a strange land. Didi has a secret lover, Cheung (Lee Kang-Sheng, actor of the great Tsai Ming-Liang), but when violence intrudes everything falls apart, and Amy finds herself alone, forced to consider her own destiny.
