Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was released on July 15th, and is a film based on the Lisa See's novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. It is directed by Wayne Wang, who is known for his work with "The Joy Luck Club" and "Maid in Manhattan". Snow Flower and the Secret Fan stars a diverse cast with actors from China, South Korean, Australia, and America. The film stars Li Bingbing, Jun Ji-hyun, Vivian Wu, Hugh Jackman, Archie Kao, and Russell Wong. Li Bingbing plays the character of Lily, and Jun Ji-hyun plays the character of Snow Flower. The story is centered on an everlasting friendship between Lily and Snow Flower, who create their own secret language to communicate with each other. See's novel alone is an amazing story of women's friendship in the nineteenth century and their journey, so you should check out her book. Here is See's inspiration and behind the scenes on writing "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". I haven't seen the movie yet, but I look forward to seeing the diverse cast work together as they bring the novel to life. Check out the trailer to "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" below.
