A Fantastic Lesbian Love Story: “Saving Face”

by Leora Israel Zellman on February 7th, 2006

Saving Face

Last Sunday night my sister and I went to the local video store to rent a nice girlie flick to watch together.  We even kicked out my husband so it would be a very girlie evening.  We rented a movie which we thought was going to be like “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” but the Asian version, but were quite surprised!
 
Saving Face” by Alice Wu starring Michelle Krusiec and Lynn Chen has all the classic romance element: marriage, love, pressure from family, traditions, pregnant single woman, and rebellion…Only the pregnant single woman is a 48 year old widower and her daughter (the daughter she’s always trying to set up for dates with men) is a sexy lesbian!  I felt bad about kicking my husband out because most guys would appreciate this film for obvious reasons! ;) 
 
I won’t say too much more because I wouldn’t want to spoil the movie, but this film is truly surprising!  I can usually guess where a plot is going in movies, but not in this one AT all!
 
One more fun snippet: it contains a very sexy lesbian love scene and also has the conservative Chinese speaking mother renting a porno….hehe
 
You HAVE to see this one!
 
SAVING FACE is a romantic comedy about a daughter struggling to understand her mother’s heart, which ultimately allows her to understand her own.  It is the story of unspoken loves, contemporary and cultural taboos, and the journey of two women towards living their lives honestly. via Sony Classics
