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 desperately poor parents sell her into sIavery. She is trafficked to a nefarious saloonkeeper in ldaho’s goId country. EventualIy Charlie, a man of a different iIk, played by Chris Cooper (Adaptation, American Beauty), wins her in a poker game and sIowly gains her trust. Way ahead of its time, the film resonates even more powerfulIy in the #MeToo era. But director Nancy KelIy became a victim of prejudice against women directors within the American film industry and was never offered another movie to direct in spite of extraordinary reviews, some of which compared her taIent to that of John Ford. Based on the cIassic noveI by Ruthanne Lum McCunn, and written for the screen by awardwinning filmmaker Anne Makepeace (Tribal Justice), Thousand Pieces of Gold is a breathtaking feminist Western just waiting to be rediscovered, and is presented here in a new 4K restoration. |
