| Winner of the prestigious Camera d’Or for best first fiIm at this year’s Cannes FiIm Festival, the enthraIIing Inside the YeIIow Cocoon SheII from Vietnamese filmmaker Pham Thien An is a reverie on faith, loss, and nature expressed with uncommon invention and depth. It’s a simpIe tale told with visuaI complexity: after a car accident claims the life of his sister-in-Iaw and leaves 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’ religious beIiefs, summons memories of his long-disappeared brother, and reconnects with a former girlfriend who now lives as a nun at a Christian church and school. With its drifting camera, evocative use of natural Iight, and gratifying perambulatory nature, this is a film with the power to readjust one’s perceptions of the world around us. |
