Between Shadow and Soul
Ash Mayfair's transformation of her critically acclaimed picture THE THIRD WIFE into a silent, black-and-white film creates an entirely new cinematic experience. May, fourteen, marries the third wife of a wealthy farmer in late nineteenth-century Vietnam. She rapidly discovers that giving birth to a male kid will bring her status and stability, but her growing attraction to Xuan, the second wife, jeopardizes her precarious position. May must make a choice between continuing in quiet and forging a path toward personal liberation as she witnesses the unfolding tragedy of forbidden love and its tragic effects.
