Biography

There are many clichés about Chinese families gathering over a dumpling plate or what you have, but “The Farewell” can portray something more complicated. Wang told me that when she pitched the film to producers, she resisted more packaged ideas about a Chinese wedding. It’s always been a story about her and her grandmother to her. Yet her film often reflects the complexities of her immigrant experience.
