Miu Miu Women’s Tales #27

Here’s something for Asian pride. Malaysian filmmaker Tan Chui Mui, who made her directorial debut in 2006 with Love Conquers All, was just announced as the latest director of Miu Miu Women’s Tales, a short-film series that supports original and profound female directors of the world, inviting them to explore vanity and femininity of the 21st century. In this 27th commission, titled I Am The Beauty of Your Beauty, I Am The Fear of Your Fear, Tan’s film follows Gita, a young woman grappling with her past and seeking solace in sisterhood in Malaysia. She wrestles her inner demons via martial arts, and through that, find inner strength and beauty within. “The search can only be inwards,” says Tan. The film premieres in Shanghai this 12 March 2024 and will soon be available online here.
