Poetry 시🗓 Tuesday, February 10 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Lee Chang-dong’s Poetry is a quiet, devastating meditation on language, morality, and the limits of grace. The film centres on an elderly woman who discovers poetry classes at the same time she is confronted with an unbearable moral crisis involving her family and community.
Lee’s cinema has long explored guilt, responsibility, and silence, and Poetry may be his most restrained and piercing work. Through stillness and understatement, the film asks whether beauty and ethical clarity can exist in a world shaped by denial and complicity.
“A profoundly moving film about ethics, art, and responsibility.” – Roger Ebert
“Lee Chang-dong’s gentlest film may also be his most devastating.” – Sight & Sound
🎟 Free Entry & Popcorn – Arrive early for sofa, bed, or beanbag seating.
