Return to Seoul

On seeming whim, impulsive 25-year-old adoptee Frédérique Benoît (Park Ji-Min) booked a flight to South Korea in a bid to find her biological parents. The harsh realities of her ultimately successful quest--and the surprising turns her life would take as the lure of her birth country would grasp her time and again--receive compelling exploration in Davy Chou's effective character study. Kwang-Rok Oh, Guka Han, Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, Kim Sun-Young co-star. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French and Korean; Subtitles: English. In French and Korean with English subtitles.
