Koganada does not disappoint and i cannot wait to see more of his works in the future;
the way each scene in After Yang is so carefully crafted, even the simplest of pillow shots have the most intricate details & effort put into them and excellent frame compositing,
the vfx, as subtle as they were, from the car rides to the memory flashbacks, absolutely stunning work, i especially ADORED the flashback VFX they did,
the musuem's set was very well designed, i really loved the usage of mirrors like in one of Kogonada's previous movies (one of my favorites of his and of all time), Columbus (2017); and when that Cello melody / OST starts playing in the background during the museum scene? absolute chills. // Ryuichi Sakamoto and Aska Matsumiya did some incredible work with the score;
Collin Farrel was amazing in this movie, and i'm starting to like the actor a lot since i've seen him in The Banshees of Inisherin and now After Yang;
one of my favorite shots has got to be that one towards the end of the movie, after that heartbreaking flashback scene of the Alpha memories that is accompanied by that sorrowful & melancholic piano in the background, absolutely beautiful, the shot had a sunset sun peaking through many tree branches, the shot was so well framed and stunning, oh GOD
the end has left me a bit confused and curious, the way they ended the movie in that Hold Frame style, as to indicate that it might have been another memory that was played through to the end and it just stopped, or could it be more? damn
