Did you know at 20 or 25 the person you became an adult? Did you have a life path already mapped out, a roadmap, or were you more like a leaf in the wind? Return to Seoul takes us on a journey over almost ten years in the company of a young woman who is looking for an identity. A young Frenchwoman who finds herself, by chance she thinks, in Seoul in South Korea, her country of birth, in which she lived before being adopted. But what does a return to your native country look like when you’ve never really known it?
The dizziness of returning to her origins will disorient her… And “Return to Seoul”, like her character, also escapes any assignment.
We welcome the Franco-Cambodian director Davy Chou, whose “Return to Seoul” is the second fiction feature film. The film represents Cambodia in the race for the Oscar for best foreign film.
On the bill of our cinema also this week, the cinema journal presented by Isabelle Chenu, an interview with Alain Ughetto for the animated film Forbidden to dogs and Italiansand then a report in Morocco by our correspondent Nadia Ben Mahfoudh for a film on the origins of Berber music: “Sound of Berberia”.
