STORY: Minari is a semi-autobiographical take on writer and director Lee Isaac Chung’s life in a family of Korean immigrants in Arkansas in the 1980s. The story follows the Yi family — father (Steven Yeun), mother, their two children, and grandmother — who move to Arkansas where the dad decides to become a farmer. His former job as a chicken sexer doesn’t pay him much.
REVIEW: With no monetary backup, the wife isn’t pleased by the sudden change in location and mode of income but decides to support her husband nonetheless. Quickly welcomed into a relatively white neighbourhood, the Korean-American family must find a way to survive while asking themselves where do they truly belong.
