DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER (Huang Xi 2024)

Sylvia Chang is superb as a feisty lady from Taipei with a compicated past who must travel to New York's Chinatown to retrieve her late daughter's remains - and decide what to do with the embryo she has left behind. The director studied at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, and worked with Taiwanese master Hou Hsiao-Hsien as crew member in producing his Goodbye, South, Goodbye and The Assassin. It shows. Chinese title: 女兒的女兒 (pinyin: Nǚ'ér de nǚ'ér).
