Not A Day Goes By(2002)

movie - first aired/released 2002-01-01 - audience 7.0

Directed by Joe G.M. Chan

Chan’s feature debut follows Wolfgang (Larry Chin), a self-hating 20something in Giuliani-era Chinatown recoiling from the death of his more traditional immigrant mother, as well as the recent departure of his girlfriend who (according to Wolfgang) left him for a white dude. Foul-mouthed and confrontational, film is essentially a series of conversations between Wolfgang and his friends about the hypocrisy he finds at ladder of Chinese-American upward mobility.
