The involuntary deception and white lies threatening to tear
romantic and family bonds apart that play a key role in Michelle
Zhou's intimate drama are all too familiar to her. In the most
literal sense, since the Chinese director based the story of Big
Little Things on her and her partner and producer Chun Yu's own
experiences. On site at a rain-swept Venice where the queer romance
premieres in the Orizzonti slate, Zhou and Yu talk with Lidanoir
about bringing their personal struggle for love and acceptance to
the screen, filmmaking as therapy, and the central role of queer
cinema as an agent of social acceptance.
