新线恐怖片[孩子们]更名为[哭泣的女人的诅咒](The Curse of La Llorona,暂译),温子仁担任制片,其公司Atomic Monsters担任制作。导演迈克尔·查维斯,主演琳达·卡德里尼。墨西哥传说中有一个“哭泣的女人”的故事, 一个丢了自己孩子的女人开始掠夺其它人家的孩子。片中的单身母亲在调查儿童失踪案时发现这个“哭泣的女人”似乎就在她的身边。
In this powerful documentary, Mama Yang, an 84-year-old woman living in New York, finds herself in correspondence with 45 high security prison inmates she views as her own children. Most are Chinese American immigrants, and see in Mama Yang a mother figure they never knew before they stepped through prison walls.
For Mama Yang though, the story is about more than Christian charity. She had already lived a full life in Taiwan when her husband died at age sixty and her son lost their house in a financial blunder. She moved to the US to start anew and lives with a Taiwanese American granddaughter that remains distant. In a film marked by family separations, Mama Yang writes letters – whether to the incarcerated or to her own granddaughter – to heal lifetimes of wounds.
