--=>+ The Film +<=--
With strikingly intimate access, MISTRESS DISPELLER explores the work of a ‘mistress dispeller’ – someone who is tasked with infiltrating and ending an affair.
When Mrs Li finds out that her husband Mr Li is having an affair with the younger Fei Fei, she reaches out to professional ‘mistress dispeller’ Wang Zhenxi for help, desperate to save her marriage. As Wang ingratiates herself into Mr Li’s life, she immediately begins to look for anything that could unravel the delicate infidelity tearing his marriage apart. What emerges is an empathetic and tender portrait of desire, as director Elizzabeth Lo negates a tabloid portrayal in favour of a touching study about tradition, intimacy, and the challenges of putting one’s happiness in the hands of others.
Mandarin language, English subtitles.

--=>+ Tickets +<=--
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.

--=>+ Afterwards+<=--
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.

If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's
