Mistress Dispeller
A fascinating documentary insight into a growing Chinese professional service, which sees undercover ‘mistress dispellers’ hired by cheated-on spouses to break-up marital affairs and get relationships back on track.
This fascinating documentary offers an inside look at the growing Chinese industry of the ‘mistress dispeller’ – people hired by cheated-on spouses to go undercover in a bid to break up an affair and save their marriage. Elizabeth Lo’s humanistic and absorbing film – shot with care and the full consent of all three participants — offers the fly-on-the-wall intimacy of a real case as a mistress dispeller tries to save a couple’s marriage while offering a surprisingly sympathetic ear to the much younger ‘other woman’. A non-judgemental look at a relationship in crisis that considers the challenges of romance in modern China.
