Another Documental del Mes offered by Filmoteca Canaria: a touching animated memoir of Korean-Belgian comic strip artist Jung, shown in French, with Spanish subtitles, under its international English title Approved for Adoption. I love this!
The animation, somewhat reminiscent of Only Yesterday, blends organically with the Super 8 archive footage; much less so with the scenes of Jung’s “present day” (the film was released in 2012) trip to South Korea.
The phrases “Skin color: honey” and “Approved for Adoption” appear in the real dossier of Jung Sik-jun.
