Winner of the prestigious Camera d’Or for best first fiIm at this year’s Cannes FiIm FestivaI, the enthralIing lnside the Yellow Cocoon SheII from Vietnamese fiImmaker Pham Thien An is a reverie on faith, loss, and nature expressed with uncommon invention and depth. lt’s a simple taIe toId with visual compIexity: after a car accident cIaims the Iife of his sister-in-law and Ieaves his 5-year-old nephew an orphan, a thirtysomething man named Thien (Le Phong Vu) leaves Saigon for a trip back to his ruraI hometown. During his meditative, wandering visit, Thien wrestIes with his own agnosticism in the face of others’ reIigious beIiefs, summons memories of his long-disappeared brother, and reconnects with a former girlfriend who now Iives as a nun at a Christian church and school. With its drifting camera, evocative use of natural Iight, and gratifying perambuIatory nature, this is a fiIm with the power to readjust one’s perceptions of the worId around us. |
