Hi Reddit! I’m Elizabeth Lo, director-producer-cinematographer of MISTRESS DISPELLER (Venice & TIFF 2024, 20 awards, releasing via Oscilloscope) and STRAY (Indie Spirit nominee 2021). MISTRESS DISPELLER is a documentary about a woman who breaks up affairs in China. It's out in theaters now. Ask me anything!
In China, a new industry has emerged devoted to helping couples stay married in the face of infidelity. Wang Zhenxi is part of this growing profession and is hired to go undercover and break up affairs by any means necessary; a “mistress dispeller.” Offering strikingly intimate access to a real, unfolding love triangle, Mistress Dispeller documents all sides of what is usually kept behind closed doors. As Teacher Wang attempts to bring a couple back from the edge of crisis, sympathies shift between husband, wife and mistress while emotion, pragmatism and cultural norms collide in this spellbinding look at modern love.
Trailer:
The film opens in New York on 10/22 and Los Angeles on 10/23 before expanding around the country in the weeks that follow. The film is currently at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (24 reviews).
Ask me anything! I'll be back tomorrow (Monday 10/20) at 3:00 PM ET to answer questions 🙂
