A repressed Korean-American teenager experiences a sexual awakening when he takes a job at an all-male spa in Andrew Ahn’s richly observed feature debut. A vivid journey through the churches, karaoke bars, and 24-hour spas of Los Angeles’ Korean immigrant community, this deeply personal, luminously shot study of alienation and desire reworks the conventions of the gay coming-of-age film through its coolly atmospheric approach.
