Monsoon

Monsoon (2020)

Kit can’t remember much of his native Vietnam. When he returns to the Land of the Golden Star for the first time in over thirty years, he takes in his local surroundings as any Western tourist would, and the environment is as exotic as the language is incomprehensible. The aim of Kit’s travels – to find a place to scatter his parents’ ashes – thus becomes part of a journey back to his roots and to the discovery of his identity, which external circumstances have rendered ambiguous and complex.

Curiozități

Monsoon is a 2019 British drama film, written and directed by Hong Khaou and produced by Tracy O'Riordan. It stars Henry Golding, Parker Sawyers, David Tran and Molly Harris.

Production

Monsoon was awarded the Sundance Institute/ Mahindra Global Filmmaking Award in 2014. The feature was also among the BFI's top ten Film Fund recipients, receiving £800,000.

In March 2018, it was announced Henry Golding had joined the cast of the film, with Hong Khaou directing from a screenplay he wrote. Tracy O'Riordan would serve as a producer on the film, with BBC Films and British Film Institute producing.

When director Hong Khaou's Lilting played at Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance Screenwriter's Lab suggested Khaou pitch them an idea for his next project. In the four years that followed, with the support of the BFI and BBC Films, the film underwent "various incarnations" according to Khaou. As an example, the character of Lewis, an African American in the finished film, started out as Hank, a white American.
