Experience the uplifting motion picture – produced by Academy Award winner Oliver Stone (best picture, 1986, Platoon) and based on the powerful best-selling novel The Joy Luck Club – for the first time on Blu-ray, featuring an all-new digital restoration with enhanced picture and sound. Revisit the inspirational story of four remarkable friends whose extraordinary lives are filled with joy and heartbreak. Their friendship reveals a mosaic of startling events that have shaped their lives and affects the hope they hold for their families. A favorite of fans and critics alike, this exceptional film is sure to entertain you from beginning to end!The 1993 film adaptation of Amy Tan’s bestselling novel is both a delight and a moving experience, an anthology of stories wrapped in one Chinese-American woman’s journey to understand her roots. Wayne Wang (Eat a Bowl of Tea) directs a large, outstanding cast spread over eight different tales of the lives of Chinese women, most of them set in the past. The script by Tan and Ronald Bass (Rain Man) is a delicate balance of emotions that swell but don’t gush, and Wang brings impressive texture and a personal feel to Tan’s descriptions of daily life in the Chinese-American community. This sprawling, good-looking movie makes for a cathartic tearjerker one can feel good about. –Tom Keogh

A Heartbreaking and Powerful Testament to the Human Spirit “The Joy Luck Club” is a ground-breaking film with universal themes that anyone can relate to regardless of age, gender or nationality. Truly epic in its scope and haunting vision, the movie is also deeply heartfelt and familial, enhancing its ability to speak to the audience in myriad, boundless ways. This is an intimate portrait of two generations of Asian women – the mothers who risked everything to create a better life for their daughters in the United States. At this juncture in American history, the movie resonates more than ever by reminding the viewer of our fore-mother’s immigrant experience. In doing so, “The Joy Luck Club” serves as a vibrant contemporary document on freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
Joy Luck Club is of best quality Having not seen it since it was in the theater, I forgot just how good “The Joy Luck Club” is. The story of each of the women is personal and engaging. Different lives and pasts leading to the same destination, each road is harsh and lined with perils. The film is a nice blend of period piece and modern drama.
Wonderful! This tearjerker adaptation based on the book by Amy Tan, is about four Chinese mothers and their American born daughters, and how the distinct cultural chasm in their upbringing, play into their daily lives.
