Retour à Séoul
A staggering masterwork that reveals itself unhurriedly, one permutation at a time, Chou’s third feature is perhaps the only film this year in which every single scene and every line of dialogue within them feel absolutely indispensable.
The richness in every detail, and their unexpected ramifications over time, make for a one-of-a-kind character study. Frédérique starts to track down her biological family resulting in startling consequences.
