Americanese - wallpapers[br]Release Date: August 10, 2007 (limited)[br] [br] Studio: IFC First Take[br] [br] Director: Eric Byler[br] [br] Screenwriter: Eric Byler[br] [br] Starring: Chris Tashima, Allison Sie, Joan Chen, Kelly Hu, Ben Shenkman, Sab Shimono, Michael Paul Chan[br] [br] Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance[br] [br] Plot Summary: Raymond [br]Ding (Chris Tashima) is not young. He's been married before. He is the [br]only Asian man Aurora Crane (Allison Sie) has ever kissed... and the [br]only man she has ever loved. Three months ago, she told him she was [br]moving out of the apartment they shared for two years. He quietly left [br]instead.[br] [br]Although Aurora is Hapa (half Asian), she moves most comfortably in the [br]white world. So it's back to the familiar as she quickly tumbles into a [br]new romantic involvement with Steve (Ben Shenkman) -- this time with [br]someone her own age, someone white, someone she could bring home to [br]meet the folks. If only she could do something about her dreams....[br] [br]Raymond and Aurora still dream about each other -- sensually haunting [br]dreams that inspire longing in their waking hours, and the fear of [br]mishandled fate. Each night Aurora alters or removes something in the [br]apartment in an attempt to purge Raymond from her psyche. The furniture [br]is re-arranged on a weekly basis. And then there are the photographs [br]and keepsakes, emotional heavyweights, finding their slow way into a [br]box in the bedroom closet. Raymond is the only witness to this process. [br]He visits the apartment when he knows Aurora is not home. He reads the [br]newspaper, eats his lunch, then checks for any subtle changes. He is [br]careful not to leave a trace, but Aurora sometimes senses his unseen [br]presence. She knows he still has the key.[br] [br]Raymond begins a new romance with a beautiful colleague, Betty Nguyen [br](Joan Chen). As their relationship progresses, Raymond's efforts to [br]uncover Betty's secret past lead him to a present day secret that could [br]change his life forever. Raymond's widowed father (Sab Shimono) plans a [br]trip to China to find a picture bride because he doesn't want to grow [br]old alone. Aurora's friend Brenda (Kelly Hu) rejects Asian men as [br]lovers, seeking refuge in a series of unfulfilling sexual liaisons with [br]non-Asian men. And Raymond and Aurora meet 'for the last time' several [br]times.[br] [br]Americanese is a penetrating anti-romance, filled with lush, dreamlike [br]imagery and sharply realized emotions. It tells this story of two [br]lovers perhaps meant to be together, bewildered as they hopelessly [br]drift apart. The film invites the audience to unravel, in flashbacks, [br]in private ruminations, and in infrequent encounters, the mystery of an [br]Asian American love story. The meaning of Raymond and Aurora's love,and [br]the truth behind their breakup, are revealed in its aftermath - just as [br]scientists learn about the birth of the universe by studying the [br]reverberation of its echo.[br] [br] [br]
