Chinese Movie Night July 31, 2008
Portland, Oregon 97209
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.
