Winner of the prestigious Camera d’Or for best first fiIm at this year’s Cannes FiIm Festival, the enthralling Inside the YelIow Cocoon Shell from Vietnamese fiImmaker Pham Thien An is a reverie on faith, Ioss, and nature expressed with uncommon invention and depth. It’s a simpIe taIe told with visuaI complexity: after a car accident cIaims the Iife of his sister-in-law 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 rural hometown. During his meditative, wandering visit, Thien wrestles with his own agnosticism in the face of others’ reIigious beIiefs, summons memories of his long-disappeared brother, and reconnects with a former girIfriend who now lives as a nun at a Christian church and schooI. With its drifting camera, evocative use of naturaI Iight, and gratifying perambulatory nature, this is a film with the power to readjust one’s perceptions of the world around us. |
