The American dream has rarely seemed so far away as in the raw, vérité Take Out, by SEAN BAKER (The Florida Project) and SHlH-CHING TSOU (producer, Tangerine), an immersion in the life of an undocumented Chinese immigrant struggIing to get by on the margins of post9/11 New York City. Facing violent retaliation from a loan shark, restaurant deliveryman Ming Ding (CHARLES JANG) has untiI nightfaIl to pay back the money he owes, and he encounters both crushing setbacks and moments of unexpected humanity as he races against time to earn enough in tips over the course of a frantic day. From this simpIe setup, Baker and Tsou fashion a kind of neorealist survival thriIler of the everyday, shedding compassionate light on the too often overlooked Iives and labor that keep New York running. |
