Lan Yu
June 14 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
A landmark of queer Asian cinema, Lan Yu returns to the big screen at Asia Society as part of its ongoing film programming. Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Stanley Kwan, the 2001 drama tells the deeply moving story of a young architecture student and a wealthy businessman whose relationship unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly changing China. Widely regarded as one of the greatest LGBTQ+ films from Asia, Lan Yu remains a powerful exploration of love, class, identity, and the cost of emotional vulnerability.
