THE FAREWELL (2019) – AFI Movie Club

THE FAREWELL (2019) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image during the year of its release. According to the official rationale, “THE FAREWELL embraces a clash of cultures in a modern family to celebrate the universal nature of our human experience.  Writer/director Lulu Wang finds a rich vein of humor in the dark mines of mortality, a rare feat illuminated by the sparkling star turn of Awkwafina, whose performance looks to the future as a bond between East and West, comedy and drama, and generations young and old.”
