Apparently I don’t watch movies nearly enough, but here’s some ones a little off the beaten path:
Return to Seoul is about an adopted Korean woman finding her biological family. Sorta. My partner was part of the wave of Korean adoptions to the US that happened in the 80s (an interesting topic all on its own, but not the focus of the film) so the film gave us some good conversations.
Carol Doda Topless at the Condor was fascinating in a way I didn’t expect. The combination of a view into the club scene for the time period, the explanations of the process and consequences for the type of breast augmentation she used, her encounters with the law, aging as a sex worker, it all just combined in a way that was enjoyable.
