The story follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Wu) as she accompanies her boyfriend, Nick Young (Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the son of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.

Cinem Club - FEMINISING THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN WEST
21st November, 2019
Thoresby College
The Great Hall
South Quay
The western has, traditionally, been a male-centred genre. Women, where they appear, have usually been peripheral figures, incidental to the real action of the movie.
Although we have had films that present us with female versions of the gunslinger, only relatively recently has there been a serious attempt to examine the role played by women in the conquest of the western frontier.
In this "Close-up", Malcolm Prue aims to look at some of the ways in which the female perspective has been represented in a range of critically well-received post-millennial western films.
Our Close-Ups events are £5 for members and their guests, otherwise £6, which includes complementary refreshments. This can be paid on the door but please book your place in advance by e-mailing email hidden; JavaScript is required as this helps us with catering and photocopies!
