Synopsis
SPA NIGHT
The atmospheric SPA NIGHT is a portrait of forbidden sexual awakening set in the nocturnal world of spas and karaoke bars in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. David Cho (Joe Seo in a breakthrough performance), a timid 18-year-old living with his financially-struggling immigrant parents, chances upon a secret cruising spot when he takes a job at an all-male spa. There he begins to realize hidden desires that threaten his life as a dutiful son and student.
“Steamy!” – Peter Debruge, Variety
Reviews
“CRITICS’ PICK! Heartbreaking coming-out drama.”
-Village Voice
“CRITICS’ PICK! It would be easy to categorize this cool, exquisitely observant first feature…as a gay movie. But it is much more.”
-The New York Times
