Far From China, CS Leigh's film featuring the Suede song Simon and incidental music by Suede, Neil Codling and Saul Freeman has its London Premiere at 8 pm on Sunday 18th November at the Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square, London SW1. Far From China is a cubist construction which in its fragmentation offers a portrait of Nana, a young novelist with a haunted past. She is the daughter of a famed Vietnam-era radical whose public suicide is legend, and whose life is very much at a crossroads. At a time when it is so much in the headlines Far From China attempts to address the issue of American Imperialism in relation to the way that a country wages its wars. It does this by looking at the net results of its actions on future generations on both sides of the divide. Far From China uses a multi-screen format (four images on screen together most of the time) to tell a story which can perhaps only be told in pieces, like the shards of a shattered mirror before which Nana stands to examine her broken life.
