In this week's Saturday School episode, we revisit the 2004 Alice Wu film "Saving Face," on the tail of its 20th anniversary.
If you've been following this semester, you know we are paying tribute to the "Stars of Asian American Cinema." This episode is our PhD thesis for why Lynn Chen is the ultimate star of Asian American cinema. We also talk about how "Saving Face" has become canon as it continues to gain new viewers over the decades. We marvel over how Joan Chen reversed aged by playing a mom of a pre-teen in "Didi." And we appreciate Michelle Krusiec for showing us that ABCs with non-fluent Mandarin can be nominated in the same Golden Horse Award category as Shu Qi!
