FAMILY

Today I saw the wonderful

Joy Luck Club (1993)

It is directed by Wayne Wang. We just sawChan is Missing, his first film.

It is like watching a kid grow up.

This one is a great picture with 8 intertwining stories; four mothers and their daughters.

It is also beautiful to watch.

I had not seen it before.

I am very happy that I saw it now as a NYTimes Best 1176 Film. That is why I am doing this; to catch what I missed or foolishly let go by.

The film starts with a roaringly large family party ; the camera swoops from room to room. It never lets you go after this totally engaging start.

This will be a 5 out of Netflix5.
