10 New Movies Bound To Become Classics
7. Minari
Lee Isaac Chung's seminal slice-of-life drama Minari tells the story of a Korean-American family who move to Arkansas in search of the American Dream. The journey ends up deeply effecting them, and even threatens to break them apart.
Presented as a small-scale depiction of family, the drama is ultimately a snapshot of life as an idealistic immigrant in 80s America, working wonders with its award-winning cast - including Steven Yeun, Yeri Han, Youn Yuh-jung and a debuting Alan Kim - to bring its enveloping narrative to life.
Due to its authentic historical setting and unexpectedly stunning performances, as well as its wholesome ending and autobiographical script, Minari is a sure-fire classic all the way, sure to be remembered in time for its trail-blazing influence and unflinching approach to challenging topics.
