“Not just a ground-breaking film, but also a witty, intelligent, mischievous attempt to mix identity politics (of an inquisitive, skeptical sort), social documentary, and genre parody. Thirty-four years on, it still looks brazenly inventive and bracingly fresh.”
 - Jonathan Romney, Film Comment
“A small, whimsical treasure of a film….warm, low-key, affectionate and funny.”
- Roger Ebert
As part of their July series "US Tour," 7th House is proud to present a film as endearing and inventive as it was unassumingly groundbreaking, 
Wayne Wang
’s Chinese American meta-noir 
CHAN IS MISSING
 
(1982)!
A mystery man, a murder, and a wad of missing cash—in his wryly offbeat breakthrough, Wayne Wang updates the ingredients of classic film noir for the streets of contemporary San Francisco’s Chinatown. When their business partner (the titular Chan) disappears with the money they had planned to use for a cab license, driver Jo (Wood Moy) and his nephew Steve (Marc Hayashi) scour the city’s back alleys, waterfronts, and Chinese restaurants to track him down. But 
what begins as a search for a missing man gradually turns into a far deeper and more elusive investigation into the complexities and contradictions of Chinese American identity.
The first feature by an Asian American filmmaker to play widely and get mainstream critical appreciation
, 
Chan Is Missing 
is a continuously fresh and surprising landmark of indie invention that playfully flips decades of cinematic stereotypes on their heads.
Dir. Wayne Wang, 1982, 75 mins, United States, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin with English subtitles, Unrated, Digital.

好吧，這真是擁擠的一天。很多學校團體。另外，當我們到達時，下一張可用票的時間是 2 小時後。我們每人花了18美元，另外還有停車費15美元。我認為這次體驗非常好。這些事情我很感興趣，所以我根本不介意等待。但它確實變得擁擠。

日落大道是洛杉磯最具代表性的事物之一，但它最終只是一條路。毫無疑問，它涵蓋了一些亮點，例如花花公子大廈、奧本海姆集團直通好萊塢，但你最終只是路過而不是冒險去。
