Chan Is Missing is not only an appreciation of a way of life that few of us know anything about; it's a revelation of a marvelous, completely secure new talent.

watched this movie as part of an transpacific American art history class that explored some expression within film by transpacific movie directors. I thought this movie was moving as well as very though provoking--never having grown up in a Chinatown myself, having a view of what life might have been like for me was the "moving" part. Thought provoking comes with the search for Chan and how Marc is on a mad search for a friend that he thought he knew, but, realizes, that he really doesn't. The movie provides insight into Asian American life as well as the struggle of the community to try and make ends meet.

Understated and effective. Two taxi drivers look for Chan, who functions as the "McGuffin" of the story, since the real agenda of the film is to explore all the different kinds of people who make up San Francisco's Chinatown. Each of the people they talk to has a different impression of who Chan was, and the impressions are mutually incompatible, in the same ways that American society's image of Asian Americans contains lots of conflicting stereotypes.

Wang makes Chan Is Missing to a similar recipe-the film is imbued with, and is entirely about, Chinese-ness, but adopts a quintessentially American form, the film noir mystery.

Wayne Wang brilliantly uses the device of searching for a missing man (the Chan of the title) to take the audience on an interesting and insightful journey into the Asian-American community in this low budget but ambitious and successful American Indie.
