The Wanderlust of Chloe Zhao
She applied the methodology to profoundly moving effect in Nomadland. Some of the characters were featured in journalist Jessica Bruder’s 2017 nonfiction book of the same name, upon which the movie is based. The others are people Zhao and McDormand, who optioned the book and is also a producer of the film, encountered on the road. Over four months, Zhao cast and scripted on the fly as they traveled in their own vans through South Dakota, Nebraska, Arizona, Nevada, and California, layering the film with the stories of those they met. McDormand worked side by side with her nomadic counterparts, packing boxes at an Amazon warehouse, harvesting beets for sugar processing, cleaning toilets at a desert campground. There is no pity or manipulation in their portrayal. As McDormand puts it, Zhao “draws a razor-sharp line between sentiment and sentimentality.” … [Read more...] about The Wanderlust of Chloe Zhao

The Great Indian Kitchen Movie Review: Perfect Portrayal Of Everyday Patriarchy
But what makes it all different in The Great Indian Kitchen is the way this film addresses these things. When the new bride asks her husband about his table manners, suggests him foreplay before having sex, or shares her views on the Sabarimala verdict, she is not given the face of a vamp. Instead, the director chooses to show us how the husband is deeply unimpressed with the fact that his wife knows "too much". And finally, When we see the new bride's mother refuses to acknowledge her issues, it is evident how deeply rooted the patriarchy is, in our society. … [Read more...] about The Great Indian Kitchen Movie Review: Perfect Portrayal Of Everyday Patriarchy
Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire’ Is a Celebration of Culture — Clad in Couture
Indeed, one of the most surprising revelations in Bling Empire is Cherie Chan, introduced as a Hong Kong-born heiress to a Chinese denim manufacturer. Chan’s storyline follows the new mom as she grieves the sudden loss of her own mother, while preparing to welcome a second child with her commitment-phobic long-term boyfriend. Cameras follow Chan as she attempts to find clarity, first from traditional Buddhist meditation, and later through a reading with celebrity clairvoyant Tyler Henry (one of the few non-Asian faces to appear on the show). Her journey touches upon a host of familiar Asian tropes — spirituality, honor, family — but reveals oft-hidden ones too, as Chan speaks openly about the stigmas of being an unwed mother of two, and questions whether her mother has been reincarnated or has simply left the earth for good. … [Read more...] about Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire’ Is a Celebration of Culture — Clad in Couture
