Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell - Official U.S. Trailer

In theaters January 19.
Winner of the prestigious Camera d’Or for Best First Feature at the Cannes Film Festival, this enthralling debut from Vietnamese filmmaker Thien An Pham is a reverie on faith, loss, and nature expressed with uncommon invention and depth. The sudden death of his sister-in-law brings unexpected responsibilities to Thien (Le Phong Vu), who is reluctantly tasked with bringing his five-year-old nephew Dao to their countryside hometown. On the road, Thien is drawn into a search for his long-missing older brother, haunted and spurred forward by a series of sublime dreams that reignite suppressed memories, forbidden desires, and specters of his own youth. What began as a journey home becomes a pilgrimage marked by visual splendor and mystical overtones, a quest for understanding and certainty in a Vietnam that seems unable to provide any clear answers. As Thien battles with the existential question of what is worth living for, Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell interrogates the persistence and complexity of faith, not only in the spiritual but in the delicate beauty of earthly existence.

My favorite film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum has praised this new picture on his blog, which in itself piques my curiosity to see it.

[@theculturewatch2414]

The best part of the trailer was the quotes from reviews? Yeesh
Let’s cut a better trailer

[@HEAVYHEARTSMUSIC]

Don't think anyone interested in these meditative, magical realism films really cares how good the trailer is.

[@benjamindover4337]

I'm surprised to hear that criticism because I thought it was quite masterfully cut.

[@dreamterry]

It's not for the blockbuster crowd. Instead, it's exquisitely patient and deep. Beautiful, for those with the yes to see . . . .

[@bennyjones1502]

I really liked this trailer - beautiful shots, great foley, interesting dialogue - it made me want to see the film, but to each their own.

[@unluckyseven7]

Gonna have to disagree with you. I am certainly intrigued by the images here
