Monsoon

Directed by Hong Khaou

Kit revisits Saigon after three decades, reconnecting with his Vietnamese roots and confronting his past.
Monsoon is a beautifully restrained drama about a British-Vietnamese man returning to the country of his birth and discovering how little memory can explain belonging. Henry Golding gives a subtle performance, and Hong Khaou’s quiet direction makes displacement and desire feel deeply intertwined.
