Here’s some news of a release for a cracking little comedy which I caught last year on the festival circuit, Lucky Grandma. It looks like the film is heading for a November release through Signature Entertainment in the UK. In the film, acting veteran Tsai Chin (The Joy-Luck Club, Memoirs of a Geisha) swindles a ruthless gang in an attempt to get some cash.
Fast-paced and full of heart, laughs and wicked black humour set in the belly of New York’s Chinatown, Lucky Grandma tells the story of a cardigan clad, chain-smoking Chinese grandma who, in an attempt to get some cash, goes all in at a casino but lands herself on the wrong side of luck and the law. Having gambled away more than just chips after stealing money from a dead criminal boss, ‘Grandma’ hires a rival gangland bodyguard to protect her from a band of violent crooks who are hot on her tail and ready to reclaim the loot.
The date for your diaries is 6th November.
Here’s the latest trailer for this excellent little film.
