In the trailer, the couple, played by Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith, ran into a problem when their robot malfunctioned. Whether to cultivate it or not to cultivate it has become a dilemma.
The whole trailer is full of human touches, especially the passages where the robot recalls its own life. The bits and pieces in those memories are touching.
On the whole, this will be a film that focuses on the emotional expression of the story, with large scenes and exciting plots, almost equal to zero.
The story is told slowly in an unhurried mood and rhythm. And this kind of story and rhythm is also in line with the tonality of A24.
Based on the short story “Saying Goodbye to Yang”, the film tells the story of an American couple who recruit a robotic assistant “Yang” to take care of their adopted Chinese-American daughter Mika.
Years later, something went wrong with Yang, and when it was lost, the couple had to confront long-hidden problems in the family.
Like do they rely too much on Yang and don’t spend enough time really getting along with Mika?
Husband Jake is considering whether to send Yang to a museum or try to fix it. To this end, Jake begins to look at the life “memories” that Yang has stored over the years.
“After Yang” participated in the Cannes Film Festival and received critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival. Currently, it has been set for a March 4 release in North America.
