The Joy Luck Club

A powerful, heartfelt treatment of Amy Tan's acclaimed novel looks at the lives of four Chinese women and their daughters, and the tragedies and joys they share both decades ago in China and in contemporary America. A superlative ensemble cast, including Kieu Chinh, France Nuyen, and Tamlyn Tomita excels, under Wayne Wang's sensitive direction. 139 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
