Details
Desperate to save her marriage, a woman in China hires a professional to go undercover and break up her husband’s affair. Elizabeth Lo's astonishingly intimate Mistress Dispeller follows this unfolding family drama from all corners of the love triangle.
Wang Zhenxi, the ‘mistress dispeller’ herself, is part of an emerging industry devoted to helping couples stay together in the face of infidelity. As we follow her methods, with jaw-dropping access, our sympathies shift between husband, wife and mistress.
Shot with care, empathy and the full consent of all three participants, this hugely absorbing film carefully explores the ways emotion, pragmatism and cultural norms collide to shape romantic relationships in contemporary China.
The screening on Friday the 22nd of August was followed by a Q&A with director Elizabeth Lo. Hosted by film producer Natasha Dack.
