MOCA CINEMA – The Joy Luck Club

Based on Amy Tan’s bestselling novel, The Joy Luck Club unfolds the stories of four Chinese American women and their immigrant mothers, weaving together memory and generational experience to reveal the challenges of identity, love, sacrifice, and belonging. Directed by Wayne Wang, the film was groundbreaking as one of the first major Hollywood productions to center Asian American lives and feature a predominantly Asian cast. More than thirty years later, it continues to resonate as a touchstone for Asian American representation in cinema.
