Award Winning Independent Film

Complicity

feature complicity movie still

Independent films that cause me to think in fresh ways are always a treat, so I thoroughly enjoyed the award winning Complicity DVD. 

Immigration and cultural issues are in the news often here in the United States. 

While our country is a unique ‘melting pot,’ we are not the only country experiencing immigration. 

The central character in Complicity is a young, undocumented Chinese immigrant who has made his way to Japan. 

Cultural specifics are unique to these two countries, but they are a piece of broader global issues that impact individuals. 

A close look at the human toll of global issues leads to empathy and a greater understanding of the big picture.

The film is in Cantonese, but has English subtitles.

This unrated movie is probably best for teens and adults, since they can read the subtitles and follow the deep issues brought up in the film. 

I recommend watching it with a friend or family member, so that you can discuss this thought provoking film afterwards.

Synopsis

Cheng Liang is a young Chinese immigrant living illegally in Japan.

Desperate for work, he feigns his identity in order to get a job in a traditional Japanese soba restaurant.

He starts his new life living and working with the elderly soba master, but always fearing to have his real identity disclosed at any moment.

    This looks like a really moving, quality film about one of the most definite hot-button issues that plague this country.

    This movie sounds interesting…I love international films because you get to experience different perspectives.

    It would be interesting to learn about illegal immigration in another country such as Japan. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Sounds interesting. Would like to know why the person wants to feign their identity, Guess I’ll just have to watch the movie to find out! LOL

    I like movies about other cultures. It’s a way to broaden my way of thinking. Thank you for the chance to win it!

    I agree that movies that deal with everyday families dealing with their own trials and tribulations are typically found in the small independent films. Thanks for the opportunity to win this one.

    It sounds very interesting. The clash of the two cultures would be great to learn about.
