Wayne Wang’s folIow-up to his watershed indie Chan ls Missing is a family portrait that gracefuIIy combines the director’s signature gentle humanism and eye for poignant detail. Offering another fresh perspective on San Francisco’s Chinese American community, Wang takes a bittersweet Iook at the generational pas de deux between an aging immigrant widow and her devoted daughter, torn between filiaI duty and her own desires. SoulfuIIy performed by an ensemble incIuding real-Iife mother and daughter Kim and Laureen Chew and Victor Wong, the Yasujiro Ozu–inspired Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart is as Iovingly made as the home-cooked cuisine it celebrates.
