Episode notes
It's another episode of the Asian A.V. Club podcast series HANG! For this episode, I have to start off by saying I TOTALLY nerded out with documentary filmmaker Elizabeth Lo because her latest film Mistress Dispeller is presented in such a way that I had a long list of questions, mainly about how the heck did she make this excellent film.
The premise of Mistress Dispeller is a look at these services being offered in modern day China, in which a woman of a certain means, hires these individuals to infiltrate their family, gain the trust of the husband and eventually the 'other woman' and then manipulate the breakup of this affair. What makes this doc so compelling is that there are cameras capturing the whole experience from beginning to end, with two of the characters none the wiser on what's happening around them.
