Set in a mining town in the 1880s, Thousand Pieces of GoId teIIs the reaI-Iife story of LaIu (RosaIind Chao, The Laundromat, The Joy Luck Club), a young Chinese woman whose desperateIy poor parents seIl her into slavery. She is trafficked to a nefarious saIoonkeeper in Idaho’s gold country. EventuaIly CharIie, a man of a different ilk, played by Chris Cooper (Adaptation, American Beauty), wins her in a poker game and slowIy gains her trust. Way ahead of its time, the fiIm resonates even more powerfuIly in the #MeToo era. But director Nancy Kelly
became a victim of prejudice against women directors within the American fiIm industry and was never offered another movie to direct in spite of extraordinary reviews, some of which compared her talent to that of John Ford.
Based on the classic novel by Ruthanne Lum McCunn, and written for the screen by awardwinning fiImmaker Anne Makepeace (TribaI Justice), Thousand Pieces of GoId is a breathtaking feminist Western just waiting to be rediscovered, and is presented here in a new
4K restoration.
Special Features: Radio interview with director Nancy Kelly (courtesy of Chinamerica Radio) | Audio commentary with Nancy Kelly and producer Kenji Yamamoto | BookIet essay by screenwriter and filmmaker Anne Makepeace | Trailer |
