Now that 'Return to Seoul' is finally getting a proper theatrical release, you can see why it not only deserves your attention, but earns the right to be called one of the best movies about identity crises ever. Read our review:
Not that Chou doesn’t have a vision, an artistic sensibility or several pints of his own plasma running throughout this deft, extraordinary portrait of a person in flux. A French-Cambodian director who started as a documentarian , he has a way of letting things simply unfold before his cameras, and making you feel like he’s discovering something alongside you, the viewer, even when he dials up the cinematic stylistics.
The same goes for his collaborators, who have a way of using reference points as a means rather than an end; the way composers Jérémie Arcache and Christophe Musset, for example, seem to be pulling out the bare-bones beats from Bauhaus’ goth anthem “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” and refashioning them for Freddie’s hedonistic field trips is bliss-inducing.such a moving thing to experience.
