Banana in a Nutshell (2005)

Banana in a Nutshell: Directed by Roseanne Liang. An intimate portrait of a Chinese-European couple in New Zealand, and their journey to get a blessing for marriage from traditional Chinese parents.

“At what point are you no longer owned by your family? Is it marriage? Enjoyed the musing and frequently pensive understandings of a young couple caught in a vortex of culturally imposed minefields and filial duty. In the end arenu0026#39;t we the determiners of our own adult fate, or are we just a reflection of a self. Are by others? This move waxes and wanes the reality of self, self development, and who are we as two may or may not become 1.”
