Review of Song of the Exile (1990) by Alister N — 14 Apr 2008
Taking the mother/daughter dynamics of the melodrama as a model, the film explores the links between cultural fallout, nationhood and family ties. Feminist in tone and spirit without beating the dead horse of men=evil.
It's a pity the script is fashioned more for metaphors and exploration than believability and excitement, but then you could do a lot worse than Maggie Cheung for a vicarious observor.
