Review of Chan Is Missing (1982) by Aaron B — 26 May 2008
Understated and effective. Two taxi drivers look for Chan, who functions as the "McGuffin" of the story, since the real agenda of the film is to explore all the different kinds of people who make up San Francisco's Chinatown.
Each of the people they talk to has a different impression of who Chan was, and the impressions are mutually incompatible, in the same ways that American society's image of Asian Americans contains lots of conflicting stereotypes.
