Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell
Director: Phạm Thiên Ân
2023 / 178min / DCP
Winner of the prestigious Caméra d’Or for best first feature at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Pham’s accomplished debut centers on a thirtysomething Vietnamese man (Lê Phong Vũ) who returns from Saigon to his rural hometown in the wake of a car accident that’s left his five-year-old nephew an orphan, revisiting ghosts of his past while struggling with his own deep-seated agnosticism in a community abounding in religious faith. A vibrant, meditative work of lyrical plein-air filmmaking that manages to be at once marvelously simple and enormously complex.
