Showing results for "Yellowface" in All Categories

A woman and her husband rent a summer house, but what should be a restful getaway turns into a suffocating psychological battle. This chilling account of postpartum depression and a husband's controlling behaviour in the guise of treatment will leave you breathless.

Winner of an Obie and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face is as timely as ever, wrestling with issues of cultural appropriation, complicity, and artistic freedom. It’s brought to life in this audio-only revival by a stunning all-star cast (many playing themselves) led by Daniel Dae Kim.

Quando assiste alla morte di Athena in uno strano incidente, June ruba il romanzo che l'amica aveva appena finito di scrivere ma di cui ancora nessuno sa nulla, e decide di pubblicarlo come fosse suo, rielaborato quel tanto che basta. Quando però qualcosa comincia a trapelare, June deve decidere fino a che punto è disposta a spingersi pur di mantenere il proprio segreto.

June Hayward und Athena Liu könnten beide aufstrebende Stars der Literaturszene sein. Doch während die chinesisch-amerikanische Autorin Athena für ihre Romane gefeiert wird, fristet June ein Dasein im Abseits. Niemand interessiert sich für Geschichten "ganz normaler" weißer Mädchen, so sieht es June zumindest. Als June Zeugin wird, wie Athena bei einem Unfall stirbt, stiehlt sie im Affekt Athenas neuestes, gerade vollendetes Manuskript, einen Roman über die Heldentaten chinesischer Arbeiter während des Ersten Weltkriegs.

As escritoras June Hayward e Athena Liu se formaram em Yale e publicaram seus romances de estreia na mesma época. Tudo indicava que chegariam juntas ao estrelato, mas, pouco depois da graduação, Athena começou a colher louros literários, enquanto June recebeu apenas migalhas de reconhecimento. Quando Athena morre em um estranho incidente, June decide que chegou seu momento de brilhar. Por impulso, ela rouba o manuscrito do novo livro da amiga, uma obra experimental sobre a relevância dos trabalhadores chineses durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial.

June Hayward et Athena Liu ont étudié ensemble à Yale, ont déménagé à Washington après avoir obtenu leur diplôme et sont toutes les deux écrivaines, mais les similitudes s'arrêtent là. Athena est une étoile montante de la littérature, et June n'est personne. Après tout, qui s'intéresse de nos jours aux histoires d'une fille blanche aussi banale qu'elle ?
