these two films absolutely top my list of favorites that i have seen this year:
Recalled (2021)
(South Korea)
What’s it about:
A woman wakes up after suffering through an accident and starts to suspect her husband. She ends up struggling to find out what is real or an illusion, the truth and the lies as she suspects that he may not be all that he seems.
Lost in the Stars (2022)
(China)
What’s it about:
A man’s wife goes missing during their first anniversary vacation. When she reappears, he insists she isn’t his real wife and she has been replaced by a different person. When no one believes him and rejects his plea to find his missing wife, a top international lawyer gets involved in the bizarre case and works to find out the truth behind the mystery.
(a story based on real events)
Both films are a masterclass in storytelling, great acting talent and excellent cinematography. Yes, it is absolutely worth sitting through a whole film reading subtitles. The tension alone is enough to make you just sit and watch. Both films are so riveting with fascinating twists and turns that will leave you guessing.
These two will most likely stay in my list of favorite films of all time for a good long while.
note:
yes, i am aware of the controversy surrounding seo yae-ji and i do not support her at all. i’m not a fan and this is the first time i have seen her in any project.
