Co-written and co-produced by Oscar winner Sean Baker (Anora), Shih-Ching Tsou’s debut feature is the story of a single mother and her two daughters who move from the countryside to Taipei to open a food stall in a busy night market. As they struggle to adapt to their new environment, three generations of family secrets begin to unravel when the left-handed, youngest daughter is told by her grandfather not to use her “devil hand.” Shot entirely on iPhones, Left-Handed Girl is a ravishing, hyperkinetic, neon-smeared portrait of bustling nighttime Taipei, and according to Ang Lee, “a precious viewing experience in times like these.”
Intended for mature audiences.
Director: Shih-Ching Tsou. Regions: Taiwan, United States, United Kingdom, France. Released: 2025. Length: 109 min. Format: DCP. Language: Mandarin and Taiwanese Hokkien with English subtitles.
