Columbus (2017)

Director: Kogonada. Cast: John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, Parker Posey, Rory Culkin. 100 min. Not Rated. Drama.

The unusual friendship between a middle-aged Korean man, who arrives in Columbus to attend his famous architect father's deathbed, and a smart twenty-something year-old girl, who's stuck with her mom's companionship before moving out into the world. Among all this, Columbus' architecture (and its incredible framing in numerous shots) plays a major role in the story, even though I didn't know that's what Columbus is famous for (which I guess is the point - lost souls in a lost city). Reminiscent  of Paterson or Linklater’s Before trilogy, but the 98% on the Tomatometer is a tad too generous.
