The Joy Luck Club (1993)
<em>Saturday March 28 at 3:30pm: Dr. Swen Steinberg (Department of History and School of Religion at Queen’s University) will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion.</em> Based on Amy Tan’s acclaimed novel, it tells the story of four Chinese immigrant women and their American-born daughters as they navigate intergenerational tensions and the search for belonging across borders. The film presents migration as both rupture and continuity, showing how displacement reshapes family, gender, and identity across generations. Oliver Stone’s <em>The Joy Luck Club</em> stands as one of the first major Hollywood works to center Chinese American experiences and is widely regarded as a significant milestone for Asian representation and storytelling in U.S. cinema. <a href="https://www.queensu.ca/history/people/steinberg-swen">Dr. Swen Steinberg</a> (Department of History and School of Religion at Queen’s University) will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion.DramaPT2H19MRated PG2026-03-28Ming-Na Wen
