The People I've Slept With returns to San Francisco
September 02, 2010
Returning to the Bay Area this weekend, Quentin Lee's The People I've Slept With is a fun and politically-savvy film that Frameline co-presented at this year's San Francisco International Asian-American Film Festival. And let's just say that Wilson Cruz co-stars, so start swooning now!
Here's what the Bay Area Reporter has to say:
A brave idea executed by a talented, sexy ensemble proves a winner for Quentin Lee, who returns to making bold films that break the mold for queer characters...
Much of the credit for this sassy piece's charm lies with a self-assured performance by Karin Anna Cheung as the sex-loving Angela Yang. Angela, who narrates a video letter to her young son, is deliciously unrepentant about her gaggle of lovers until she discovers she's pregnant and is temporarily shamed by her conservative sister, Juliet (Lynn Chen), into finding and marrying the birth-father.
The proceedings are enlivened by veterans Wilson Cruz as Angela's gay best friend Gabriel, and Flower Drum star James Shigeta as a proverb-spouting dad who's dating women younger than his daughters. Rane Jameson excels as a dreamy-eyed boyfriend Gabriel almost lets slip away. This off-beat comedy keeps surprising through dueling wedding vows and a madcap visit to the maternity ward.
Read the complete review, including a brief interview with director Quentin Lee and star Karin Anna Cheung.
The People I've Slept With runs Friday, September 3 through Thursday, September 9 at VIZ Cinema. On Friday, September 3 at 7pm there will be a Q&A with director Quentin Lee & Actress Karin Anna Cheung! Co-sponsored by the Center for Asian American Media and Frameline.
