Love Education is a 2017 Chinese-Taiwanese drama film directed by and starring Sylvia Chang. The film also stars Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lang Yueting, and Wu Yanshu and focuses on three generations of women in Henan Province.
“Sylvia Chang returns with this nuanced drama about the fragile bonds and surprising similarities among the three generations of Chinese women. Stubborn, middle-aged Huiying plans to move her father’s remains from his rural hometown to the city but encounters resistance from her father’s first wife. Meanwhile, Huiying’s daughter Weiwei struggles to break free from her mother. Through observant writing, sharp wit, and graceful direction, Sylvia Chang delivers one of her finest works to date.” [hkiff]
