Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell is one of 2024’s most impressive meditative cinematic achievements
We are all wanderers. All of us navigate life without the answers or emotional security we crave. In response to that void, we wander. Human beings traipse across life, often searching for ways to fill that emptiness, to quell that wandering urge. Drugs, religion, athleticism, art, and family, there are so many ways we try to keep our feet on the ground. Yet we’re always compelled to amble off, those eternally elusive answers beckoning us. Phạm Thiên Ân’s directorial debut Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell chronicles one such wanderer in Thiện (Lê Phong Vũ).
