EspañolThe Motel - 30 Sec. Spot
Title:
The Motel - 30 Sec. Spot
Description:
Starts 6/28 @ Film Forum in NYC Michael Kang's debut feature, in the words of Variety, "signals the arrival of a singularly promising filmmaker." With extraordinary subtlety of feeling, THE MOTEL tells a coming-of-age tale of chubby, 13-year-old Ernest (Jeffrey Chyau), a second generation Chinese-American, who helps run his mother's sleazy rent-by-the hour motel. His relationship with teenage Christine (Samantha Futerman, who played the young lead in MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA), who works at her family's Chinese restaurant, is soon overshadowed by a charismatic stranger (Sung Kang from BETTER LUCK TOMORROW), a sexy Korean-American ne'er-do-well inhabiting the motel for trysts with prostitutes. Kang uses the specific realities of these Asian-American lives to create a believable, nuanced universe not defined by ethnicity -- a world recognizable to anyone who has survived adolescence.
