I am obsessed with the way Park Chan-wook used translation in Decision to leave:
Sore apologizing for her imperfect Korean that is in fact quite literary, if Hae-joon is to be believed; Sore needing to express herself in Mandarin when sharing deeply personal details and using a program to translate her words, the confessions given to Hae-joon through a mechanical and disembodied voice; the shortcomings of said programm when Hae-joon translates and misinterprets her words regarding his body; the translation (lies) he himself unconsciously weaves when he talks to others about Sore; Sore checking afterwards the meaning of Hae-joon's specific words and her delayed reaction in front of her phone; the translation she does of his goodbye to her; the crushing, insurmountable realisation about what has been lost in translation in order to understand Sore's feelings and choices.

Overlook 2024: EXHUMA - A Freaky Exploration of Colonial Trauma
While the word “colonialism” inevitably draws thoughts to Western Europe, other countries have engaged in the practice. During World War II, this became a major focus of Japan as it sought to conquer Eastern Asia. The crimes committed by Japan left deep scars on other nations. Exhuma, from director Jang Jae-Hyun, examines that legacy in a wholly unique ghost story. While much of Exhuma relies on…

If I had a cent for every film I've watched this week, that's from 2023, is directed by a foreigner, has an asian protagonist living in a big city, deals with heavy emotional subjects subtlely, has an ethereal vibe all the way through, and starts with a P, I'd have 2 cents; which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

«Καλή αντάμωση» 
Γι’αυτήν, είναι οι παιδικές αναμνήσεις που θυμίζουν τον πολιτισμικό διχασμό που υπέστη ως κορίτσι. Γι’αυτόν, είναι η υπόνοια του μοιραίου, όπως αυτή που διαβάζει στα βιβλία του, έναντι της σχέσης του που προέκυψε από μια τυχαία, συμβατική γνωριμία. Για τον τρίτο, είναι απλώς μοιρολατρεία που συμβολίζει ένα άλμα-γεφύρωση από το παρελθόν στο παρόν, που αγνοεί όλο το διάστημα που μεσολαβεί. Για τον Κορεάτη, παρελθόν και παρόν ταυτίζονται και η εξέλιξη και η πλαστικότητα του χαρακτήρα αμφισβητούνται, αντιθέτως, για την Κορεάτισσα, που πλέον μέσα της ποσοστώνονται οι δυο πολιτισμοί, το παρελθόν είναι μάλλον ο πυρήνας και το σημείο αφετηρίας μόνο της μετέπειτα πορείας. 
Περισσότερο με απασχόλησε η αμερικανο-κορεατική σχέση, γιατί είναι υπαρκτή, έχει ζωή και έχει χάσματα που πρέπει να γεφυρωθούν, με αυτό το τόσο συγκινητικό «στεναχωριέμαι που ονειρεύεσαι στα κορεάτικα γιατί δεν τα καταλαβαίνω». Η κορεο-κορεατική σχέση φέρει μόνο ένα άρωμα από την παιδική αθωότητα και αυτή την αγάπη στην καρδιά που ονομάζεται «πεπρωμένο», ενώ μάλλον θα έπρεπε να ονομάζεται απλώς “childhood”. 
Στον επίλογο, αν όντως όλες οι σχέσεις του παρόντος μας είναι το αποτέλεσμα του επιτυχημένου αθροίσματος των παρελθοντικών, συμπτωσιακών συναντήσεων μας, τότε αυτό είναι η πιο αισιόδοξη πλάνη στην οποία επιλέγουμε να πιστέψουμε.

Riceboy Sleeps (dir. Anthony Shim) x VIFF 2022.
Shim writes and directs a beautifully touching Korean-Canadian mother-son family drama full of social realism inspired by his own childhood [...]. Set and shot mostly in the sleepy Vancouver suburbs (filmed in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows), we follow an immigrant single mother struggling to raise her young son with cultural pride while assimilating in 1990s Canada.
Premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Next Wave Selects program.
