“Minari” is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and stars Steven Yeun, Han Ye Ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Youn Yuh Jung, and Will Patton. Based on the director’s real-life experiences, the film is about a family of South Korean immigrants who try to start a new life in rural America during the 1980s.
Alan Kim’s performance as the family’s youngest child David in “Minari” previously earned him awards from film critics associations in Washington D.C., Seattle, and Las Vegas, as well as the Gold List awards. The young actor will also star in A24’s upcoming film “Latchkey Kids.”
“Minari” has also won for Best Motion Picture in a Foreign Language at the 78th Golden Globes, and cast members are up for three awards at the 27th Screen Actor Guild Awards, which will be held on April 4. In addition, Youn Yuh Jung has won 30 awards for her performance in “Minari” from film critics associations and more.
Last year, “Parasite” received the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Critics Choice Awards. The movie went on to take home four trophies from the Academy Awards, and so many are curious to see if “Minari” will also be joining the Oscar race this year.
