Tran Anh Hung, a French film director of Vietnamese origin, was awarded the Best Director prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival for his film ‘The Pot-au-Feu’ (La Passion de Dodin Bouffant). He expressed the significance of the screening of his movie in Vietnam as a momentous occasion and a tremendous source of encouragement.
Hung commented, “This is an exceptional film. It premiered concurrently with my own film screening at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, so we haven’t had the chance to view each other’s works yet.”
“Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell has emerged as a compelling artistic endeavor, undergoing constant script evolution throughout its production. This film delves into our deep-rooted connection to our homeland, Bao Loc, located in the picturesque province of Lam Dong in the Central Highlands. It presents an introspective exploration of our belief systems and the quest for purpose, offering profound insights and thought-provoking answers,” shared An.
“Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell” is a captivating three-hour masterpiece with a deliberate and immersive storytelling experience.
According to the film review website IndieWire, this captivating story explores the soul’s insatiable yearning for the supernatural, displaying elements of transcendentalism through its masterful cinematography and seamless blending of perceived reality and implied fantasy.
The film will be screened at nearby theaters, commencing this Friday.
