Minghun
Pologne 2024 | Jan P. Matuszyński | vostEN | 95’ | digital | Cast : Marcin Dorociński, Daxing Zhang, Natalia Bui, Ewelina Starejki, Antoni Sztaba
.
Jurek and his Chinese father-in-law, Ben, confront the loss of a loved one by performing the Chinese ritual of minghun ‒ a post-mortem wedding. Together, they embark on an emotional journey to find the perfect partner for the deceased to spend eternity with. A poignant story of hope, love, and the search for life’s meaning.
« When I think of Minghun, there are a few different films that come to my mind - from Parasite, which combines existential weight with lightness and humor, to Kieslowski's films, to some works of Michael Mann, which despite the genre often strongly explored issues of loneliness and inevitability, or finally outstanding films about loss like Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu 21 Grams or Isabel Coixet The secret life of words. » (Director’s note)
