Cannes' Blue Sun Palace
Brooklyn-based distributor Dekanalog (Sweet Dreams) has released a trailer for Blue Sun Palace. The film won Cannes Critics Week.
Here’s the synopsis:
When tragedy strikes, an unexpected bond forms between two migrants in the Chinese community of Queens. Far from home, their labor-filled lives intertwine as they grieve and search for familial connections.
The trailer is heavy with grief. There’s much bubbling under the surface.
Lysa Le, co-founder of Dekanalog, stated:
“Tsang’s beautifully expressive work lingers with the audience long after the final images have left the screen.”
Releasing April 25th.
