NEW 4K RESTORATION! 40TH ANNIVERSARY!
A revelation of a marvelous, completely secure new talent,” gushed New York Times lead critic Vincent Canby about Wang’s (The Joy Luck Club) breakthrough, a smart, wry, black-and-white indie landmark like nothing that came before it. In San Francisco’s Chinatown, a cabbie and his nephew set out to find the eponymous mystery man, who’s vanished without a trace, along with all their savings.
New York premiere of the film's brand new 40th anniversary 4K restoration, overseen by writer/director Wayne Wang in collaboration with the Criterion Collection and Strand Releasing
"A raunchy, sprawling and completely unpredictable panorama of the Chinese-American experience... sometimes wildly comic, sometimes melancholy, sometimes suspenseful and often strangely touching." - Tony Rayns, Time Out
