The two features by the South Korean-born filmmaker and video essayist Kogonada – his auspicious debut “Columbus” and the new “After Yang” – are distinct for their richness in rare qualities. A meditative quiet presides. The pace is unhurried.
The compositions are pristine.“Columbus” was set in the Indiana city – an improbable haven of modernist architecture – and centered on the wandering conversations of an out-of-towner (John Cho) and a young tour guide (Haley Lu Richardson). The clean lines and formal beauty around them seemed to foster serenity and rumination.In “After Yang,” which debuts Friday in theaters and on Showtime, is likewise wistful and sleekly ordered but is set in a seemingly more distant world. Adapted from short story by Alexander Weinstein, “After Yang” takes place in a future with eerily human-like androids called “technosapiens.” Jake (Colin Farrell), Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith) and their daughter Mikea (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja), have one, Yang (Justin H.
Min) who makes a seamless member of their family — an older brother to Mikea and a kind of surrogate parent and homeschooling teacher to assist the busy Jake (a tea shop owner) and Kyra (a corporate executive).If this is science fiction, it is only just so. Kogonada's interests are quotidian and his movie, far from offering grand dystopic vistas, is hermetically sealed in dim, stylish interiors. Our glimpses of Yang are largely in flashback; at the start of the film, he has malfunctioned.

Video-essayist-turned-filmmaker Kogonada made his feature film debut in 2017 with the lyrical and poetic “Columbus,” a film we loved so much we declared him one of the breakout talents of the year.
