MONTRÉAL, MA BELLE

Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant living in Montreal, has spent her life shaped by a sense of duty—to her family, her culture, and a loveless marriage. Until one beautiful summer day, when she becomes aware of a long-buried desire… Her encounter with Camille will shake her up to the point of making a radical decision.
Drawing on her own experience as an immigrant and her legendary screen presence, Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Twin Peaks) delivers a haunting and subtle performance. With a rare screenplay that explores age, sexuality, and cultural dislocation, this film marks not only a milestone in the history of Chinese diaspora cinema but also in the history of lesbian cinema.
