Academy Award Submission for Best Foreign Language Film Nomination: ‘Apprentice’ from SingaporeJunfeng Boo, director of “The Apprentice”
To speak with 33 year-old Junfeng Boo, the Singaporean director of “Apprentice” is to enter an entrancing conversation that goes far beyond film talk. Granted the subject matter of this deeply-layered and extremely well-written story is capital punishment, a very weighty subject, but still our discussion went beyond that into the realms of personal psychology.
When I finally saw it in Mobile New Horizons Film Festival after it had premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard, I was astounded by the heft and emotional weight of it.
