PLANET OF SNAIL Aug 17-23
A film by Yi Seung-jun, Doc/Drama, NR, 88 min, in Korean with English subtitles.
"Above all, this beautifully photographed documentary is a poetic meditation on refined sensory perception." - New York Times
A love story like no other, Planet of Snail is a mesmerizing documentary about an accomplished young poet who can no longer hear or see and his relationship to the world around him. Young-Chan is deaf and blind. He learned to speak when he was very young, but soon after lost his sight and hearing. He lives with his wife, Soon-Ho, who is his soul mate, an inseparable part of his life, and a window to the outside world. Young-Chan and Soon-Ho communicate through finger braille, a unique form of touch-based sign language in which words are tapped out on each other's hands. They rely on one another completely. However, Young-Chan must be able to survive on his own. One day, as Soon-Ho waits anxiously at home, Young-Chan embarks
on the biggest adventure of his life.
