Beautiful 2013

Beauty in the eyes of 4 filmmakers. Kurosawa Kiyoshi's Beautiful New Bay Area Project finds it in a kung-fu fighting young woman with a particular sense of honor. From China, Lu Yue's 1 Dimension reinvents a childlike Buddhist fable about good and evil. For Taiwan's Wu Nien-Jen and Hong Kong's Mabel Cheung, beauty resides in reconciliation and new hope. Wu's A New Year, the Same Days happens over New Year when a retired old man leaves home, while Cheung's Indigo takes place during Christmas, with Elaine Jin playing an aging dance teacher with two troublesome children.
