If you loved In the Absence, try Planet of Snail
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Planet of Snail hat ungefähr 3.4× Stimmen weniger als In the Absence — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yi Seung-jun, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to In the Absence, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Planet of Snail is
Blind-deaf Young-Chan lands on Earth and meets Soon-Ho, a similarly isolated woman with a spinal condition. Together they navigate solitude until Soon-Ho disappears on her first solo day outside. He explores Seoul’s unseen corners by themselves.
