Luxury Car (Jiang Cheng Xia Ri)

Retaining face and dignity has been a struggle for the millions who have recently fled the rural areas of China, and thousands of parents have lost contact with their children. In this emotionally taut narrative, karaoke-bar escort Li Yan Hong tries to hide her job and relationship with her boss from her long-estranged father, who has traveled from his small village to the city to find his son. 2006, China, in Mandarin with English subtitles, 88 minutes.

Target Free Thursday Night screening introduced by Jason McGrath, associate professor, Asian Languages and Literatures, University of Minnesota.
