Riceboy Sleeps
AroView: A stunning, intensely moving drama that is rich in period detail and human gesture, and brilliantly staged and shot by a near constantly roving camera.
It’s the story of a Korean single mother raising her adolescent son in the suburbs of Canada over two time periods in the 90s, before devastating news prompts them to return to reconnect and reconcile with what had been left in South Korea.
“There is no trickery or artifice behind or in front of the camera and the locations on-screen are as genuine as the characters. But Shim and his cast strike their notes perfectly.” ~Graeme Tuckett, Stuff
“A familiar immigrant song sung in such an elegant, sincere voice that it feels like a whole new arrangement.” ~Jessica Kiang, Variety
