Reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica's BICYCLE THIEVES, LUCKY LU trades Rome for New York City and the European post-WWII depression for our modern gig economy. Anchored by CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON’s Chang Chen, Korean-Canadian writer-director and festival alum (MFF2024, CLOSING DYNASTY) Lloyd Lee Choi’s riveting feature debut encompasses the hardships faced by thousands of working-class immigrants by focusing on 48 nerve-wracking hours in the life of a single desperate man.
