Tokyo 2021: 'Hommage' Review


This was a fun discovery. Hommage concerns a 40-something director (Parasite's Lee Jung-eun) who fears her career has reached an impasse. Desperate for money, she takes a gig restoring a film from the early 1960s. The director feels a kinship to the dead woman who made the 50-year-old movie. It's a lovely, understated drama, and my review is up at Screen International.
