Two cab drivers search San Francisco’s Chinatown for the mysterious Chan, who disappeared with their $4000.
Casey (Haley Lu Richardson) lives with her mother in a little-known Midwestern town haunted by the promise of modernism. Jin (John Cho), a visitor from the other side of the world, attends to his dying father. Burdened by the future, they find respite in one another and the architecture that surrounds them.
A lonesome boy accompanies his mother on a trip to clean out his late aunt’s house, where he ends up forming an unexpected friendship with the retiree who lives next door.
In this classic musical romantic comedy, a young woman (Miyoshi Umeki) arrives in San Francisco’s Chinatown from Hong Kong with the intention of marrying a rakish nightclub owner (Jack Soo), unaware he is involved with one of his singers (Nancy Kwan).
As his nightclub suffers to a convoluted love triangle among the staff, Wilmot (Jameson Thomas) has a chance encounter with scullery maid Shosho (Anna May Wong) and enlists her talents as both a beauty and a dancer to reignite the club’s spark. This rediscovered classic also stars Gilda Gray as the enchanting dancer Mabel, who shines alongside Wong, and Alfred Junge’s astonishing set design looks better than ever thanks to brilliantly restored footage by the British Film Institute.
