After Yang
*This isn't a film for a sleepy night👊*
*
In After Yang, I think Kogonada poses a deep existential question: Why do we humans get attached to things so easily? The film explores this through Yang wwho was part of the family. It shows how he even though he wasn't human becomes a vessel for emotional memories, making the family’s loss feel as if they’ve lost a human soul*
Kogonada has such a distinct signature. This is only the second film of his I've seen, after A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. What strikes me most about his work is how he takes unusual, almost dreamlike concepts and uses them to explore deeply human emotions. Even when his stories are strange on the surface, they always feel grounded in something personal and relatable
I can’t praise Colin Farrell enough honestly, I’m tired of singing his praises. His Irish accent alone is a story in itself, and his acting style is always top-tier. He knows exactly how to convey emotions through silence and his gaze, far more than any dialogue could 🎭
The cinematography was stunning, it gives you a sense of comfort and mystery all at once. As for the music, it’s a protagonist in its own right iit pulls you deep into the scenes and keeps you completely immersed in the film's atmosphere 🎶
