Asian
Studies Film Series. Join Dr. Sean Allan for a screening and discussion of Taiwanese film A
LEG, a dark romantic comedy-drama directed by Chang
Yao-sheng.
"A distressed widow…clambers
to get her late husband’s amputated leg back over a frantic 82 hours, which
sees her tracking down trucks, rummaging through body parts and making enemies
with an entire hospital. Qian is desperate to cremate her partner in his
entirety, thus resulting in a hyperbolic, bizarre race to reunite the deceased
with a part of their body."--Nathan Sartain, Asian Movie Pulse.com
