Profile of Watching TV with the Red Chinese

The mood of Watching TV with the Red Chinese is humorous, offbeat, and touching. The plot centers around city life, twentysomething life, and culture clash. It is a drama, comedy, and independent movie. Stylistically, it is nonlinear. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in an urban environment. It is set in New York. It happens in the 1980s. Visually, it is partly black and white. It is based on a book. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Users Reviews

Interesting and quirky
The premise of this comedy drama is good, and the whole filmmaking angle makes it more intriguing, but it unnecessarily develops into a melodrama, which is a bit of a shame.
