Festival Note
Winner of the French Touch Prize at Cannes Critic Week. Taiwanese Amy (Wu Ke-Xi) and Chinese mainlander Didi (Min Han Hsieh) are immigrants working in a massage parlor in New York’s Chinatown. The two share a bond over loss and a common dream – to move away from their present circumstances and start a business of their own. Recalling Tsai Ming-liang’s slow cinema, Blue Sun Palace is an unusual exploration of the American immigrant experience.
