Fresh off his impressive performance in Wayne Wang's
Coming Home Again, Justin Chon returns to writing and directing for a third time with
Blue Bayou.
The film stars Chon as a Korean adoptee whose world is shattered when he
learns that he could be deported from the US, the country he has called home
all his life.
Alicia Vikander, Mark O’Brien, Linh Dan Pham and
Emory Cohen also star.
Blue Bayou is in UK cinemas later this year.
Check out the first trailer, poster and two clips below.
The official synopsis reads:
From award-winning writer/director Justin Chon, Blue Bayou is the moving and timely story of a uniquely American family fighting for their future. Antonio LeBlanc (Chon), a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou, is married to the love of his life Kathy (Alicia Vikander) and step-dad to their beloved daughter Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.
