The Wash available on the Criterion Channel

Hello Folks,

For those interested I wanted to let you know the film, The Wash, I adapted from my play by the same name, is now screening on the Criterion Channel as part of an 80's Asian American Films offering. 

“The Wash, adapted from a play by Philip Kan Gotanda, this keenly perceptive drama focuses on the upheavals that rock a Japanese American family when the sixty-something Masi (played by Nobu McCarthy) announces she is leaving her conservative, emotionally neglectful husband, Nobu (played by Mako), after forty years together. As she finds rejuvenation in a new relationship, he struggles to move forward. Touching on issues of assimilation, generational conflict, and the legacy of the Japanese internment, The Wash is a moving and beautifully performed look at the intricacies of love in old age.”

Now streaming on the Criterion Channel as part of its Asian American 80's film offering. Membership required to view but a 7 day free trial is available.
