horizontal line

[Opens June 4 in Virtual Cinema sponsored by MSP Film Society; for more information, log on to mspfilm.org.] While a desperate, down-on-his-luck pig farmer (Haoyu Yang) loses all of his swine to disease in Shanghai and owes money to a bunch of ruthless gangsters and then tries to get his eccentric, pigeon-loving salon owner sister (Vivian Wu) to sell their rundown house to developers so that an American architect (David Rysdahl) from Missouri can build a replica of a Spanish cathedral in Cathy Yan's poignant, factually inspired, dark, 121-minute, 2018 comedic satire with striking cinematography, his busboy son (Mason Lee) pretends he is a successful businessman to impress his father and becomes smitten with an unhappy, spoiled, cynical daughter (Meng Li) of a wealthy Chinese businessman.
