“…In the context of South Korea, the theme or trajectory of homecoming prevails across both documentary and fiction films. Youngmin Choe (2015) examines contemporary Korean documentaries such as Faces of Seoul (Seouleui eolgul, Gina Kim, 2009), Home from Home (Endstation der Sehnsüchte/Dokil Maeul, Cho Sung-hyung, 2008) and Border City (Gyeonggye dosi, Hong Hyung-sook, 2002), all of which are directed by women filmmakers; in particular, Choe pays attention to the extent to which this spatial trajectory and temporal return complicates, and helps to reconfigure, the idea of nostalgia. The latest example of female homecoming could be found in the Hong Kong film, The Lady Improper (Fei fen shu nü, Tsang Tsui-shan, 2019); the female lead, Siu Man, after her divorce, returns home to the restaurant, which has been run by her chef father.…”
