After Yang KOGONADA | USA, 2021, 1h36 | DCP Cast: Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Malea Emma, Tjandrawidjaja… At a time when artificial intelligence is disrupting our lifestyles and ways of existing in a world in constant flux, After Yang, by American director of Korean origin Kogonada, known for his video essays and editing technique, questions us about the grief we might feel towards domestic robots in a future very similar to our present. Less abstract than Her by Spike Jonze (2013), After Yang is a surprising, enchanting and wonderfully off-kilter film. Colin Farrell's performance is almost as surprising as the film itself and is watched like a futuristic audio-visual poem, a colourful ode to post-humanity. Unjustly ignored upon its theatrical release in France in 2022, After Yang is a small gem of technology and tenderness that the Jean Vigo Institute was bound to bring back into the spotlight.
