Director Wayne Wang’s Coming Home Again, is based on a short story of the same name published in The New Yorker by bestselling Korean-American novelist Lee Chang-rae (Native Speaker, A Gesture Life, The Surrendered). The film charts the emotions of what is to be the last New Year’s Eve dinner together for an Asian American family whose mother has terminal cancer.
The film which stars Justin Chon (the Twilight series, Gook), Jackie Chung (Station 19, Someone Else), Christina July Kim and John Lie, is a delicate portrait of a son-mother relationship, explored through its detailed attention to food, traditions, family roots, and [Wang’s] masterful mise-en-scène.
