Episode Synopsis "Episode 1 - The Introduction and 'The Farewell'"
Welcome to the first ever episode of Encore! Where we introduce our lovely hosts; Aarushi, Anna, Haeni, and Sami, all students at the Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. This week we discuss the 2019 film 'The Farewell', where Billie returns to her hometown in China to celebrate a fake wedding devised to say goodbye to her grandmother - who only has a few weeks to live. Here we discuss things from beautiful cinematography that captures beautifully the Chinese suburbia, to the theme of identifying as an immigrant. Tune in for more wonderful in-depth discussions!
