About The Joy Luck Club
The Joy Luck Club is a 1993 American drama film directed by Wayne Wang and written by Amy Tan and Ronald Bass, based on Tan's 1989 novel of the same name. It stars Tsai Chin, Kieu Chinh, Lisa Lu, France Nuyen, Rosalind Chao, Lauren Tom, Tamlyn Tomita, and Ming-Na Wen. It explores the relationships between Chinese-American women and their Chinese immigrant mothers. The film was produced by Bass, Tan, Wang, and Patrick Markey, while Oliver Stone served as an executive producer. Four older women, all Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco, meet regularly to play mahjong, eat, and tell stories. Each of these women has an adult Chinese-American daughter. The film reveals the hidden pasts of the older women and their daughters, and how their lives are shaped by the clash of Chinese and American cultures as they strive to understand their family bonds and one another.
