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. lt’s a simple tale toId with visual compIexity: after a car accident claims the life of his sister-in-Iaw and Ieaves his 5-year-oId nephew an orphan, a thirtysomething man named Thien (Le Phong Vu) leaves Saigon for a trip back to his rural hometown. During his meditative, wandering visit, Thien wrestles with his own agnosticism in the face of others’ reIigious beliefs, summons memories of his Iong-disappeared brother, and reconnects with a former girIfriend who now Iives as a nun at a Christian church and school. With its drifting camera, evocative use of natural light, and gratifying perambuIatory nature, this is a fiIm with the power to readjust one’s perceptions of the world around us. |
