Three years after the release of his deeply moving sci-fi drama “After Yang,” director Kogonada has returned this week with “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.” The film, which marks a reunion between Kogonada and “After Yang” star Colin Farrell, is a romance with supernatural elements that looks like a fitting companion to both “After Yang” and the director’s first film, the ruminative 2017 drama “Columbus.”
“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” promises, in other words, to be a quieter but no less artistically striking alternative to some of this month’s bigger and louder blockbuster releases. Featuring anime-inspired visuals and a score composed by Hayao Miyazaki collaborator Joe Hisaishi, it may even offer some viewers some extremely rare, live-action Studio Ghibli vibes.
