Certain to see future festival action, the drama about three working-class Chinese immigrants in Flushing, NY, the film succeeds with touching performances from\u00a0Ke-Xi Wu (\u201cNina Wu\u201d), Lee Kang Sheng (Tsai Ming Liang\u2019s iconic actor) and Haixpeng Xu (\u201cWhere Echoes Never End\u201d) that could tempt distributors in the coming months. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Although the borough of Queens is pone of the most diverse places on the planet, the insular world of \u201cBlue Sun Palace\u201d is almost solely Chinese, unfolding in New York\u2019s largest Chinatown. Taiwanese Amy (Ke-Xi\u00a0Wu) and mainlander Didi (Haixpeng Xu)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>work along with two other women in a massage parlor with an exclusively male clientele. The sign on the door stipulates \u201cNo Sexual Services,\u201d but the masseuses receive bigger tips if they provide what the trade dubs a \u201ch<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y ending.\u201d\u00a0While the job isn\u2019t exactly pleasant, the women evince a positive camaraderie, necessary for group who share a small living and working space. Moreover, Didi and Amy, who are particularly close, are saving to open a restaurant in Baltimore where Didi\u2019s young daughter lives with her aunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Meanwhile, outside of office hours, pretty, cheerful Didi is seeing Cheung (Tsai Ming-liang regular Lee Kang Sheng), a lonely, middle-aged Taiwanese man who ekes out a living in the construction trade and sends money home to his sick mother, wife and daughter. The film\u2019s intimately shot opening moments show them enjoying each other\u2019s company at a restaurant and singing karaoke at a club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Tsang\u2019s minimalist screenplay unfolds in two time periods, divided by a traumatic event on the Lunar New Year (and the film\u2019s opening credits some 33 minutes in). After the narrative rupture, the relationship between the characters realigns and a theme of finding comfort amid grief comes to the fore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    More akin to European art films than to American indies, \u201cPalace\u201d prioritizes mood over plot. Tsang allows her experienced actors plenty of breathing space to convey the melancholy of their existence in situations where dreams are more likely to be deferred than to come true, but are necessary nevertheless. It seems odd, though, that she provides the character of Cheung a backstory that explains why he is a migrant and remains in his dead-end job, but neither Amy or Didi receive one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As befits a film that cites a massage consultant in the closing credits, the scene that most lingers after the film ends is a lengthy one showing the treatment Amy performs on a Caucasian client. Claustrophobically shot by experienced Canadian DP Norm Li, it epitomizes the drawbacks of her profession. Indeed, Li\u2019s tender yet tightly framed cinematography, shot on Kodak film, underlines the confined situations in which the characters exist and captures their cluttered surroundings with a documentarian\u2019s eye. Composer Sami Jano provides an effective but sparsely used score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
