PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Jenny Suen and Christopher Doyle, directors of the film The White Girl.
Christopher Doyle pairs up with Jenny Suen on this tale about a girl with a skin, so pale that she’s called the white girl. In her village she feels like she is invisible, but she will eventually understand her value. An intense but dreamy film about acceptance, self affirmation and escape. A four-hands direction that was complex in the creation but easy in the making.
The White Girl lives a marginalised life in the last fishing village in Hong Kong. When she meets Sakamato, a young artist fleeing from fame, something inside her changes. In the meantime, the threat of gentrification looms over them…
