　　来自法国的旅行者伊丽丝在韩国担任法语家庭教师赚取生活费。语言的隔阂让她和学生之问的交流充满错位感，东亚文化中不善于思考和表达内心情感的“痼疾"又与渴望交流与开放的心态交织在一起，触发了只有异国旅行者才能感受到的特殊孤独与惆怅。被誉为韩国作者电影第一人的导演洪常秀继《在异 国》《克莱尔的相机》之后与法国国宝级女演员伊莎贝尔·于佩尔再度合作，用极简主义的拍摄手法呈现细致入微的人际关系精妙互动，斩获2024年第74届柏林国际电影节评审团银熊奖。

　　故事发生在一间专门面向歌剧退休演员开放的养老院里，维尔福（比利·康诺利 Billy Connolly 饰）、雷吉（汤姆·康特奈 Tom Courtenay 饰）和茜茜（宝林·科林斯 Pauline Collins 饰）是那里的明星居民。每一年，这三个出色的演唱者都会通过他们的三重唱向社会募集资金，用以维持养老院的运作。虽然养老院的规模不大，但每一个老人都能在那里找到快乐和安宁。　　简（玛吉·史密斯 Maggie Smith 饰）的出现打破了众人宁静的生活，这个高傲又好斗的女人是歌剧界名声大噪的歌唱家，同时，她还是雷吉的前妻。受生活所迫，简不得已住进了这间养老院，前夫雷吉的存在更是让她心中愤愤不平。由于简的加入，三重唱变成了四重唱，但排练的效果并没有因为一个得力唱匠的加入而有所提高，麻烦和争执接踵而至。

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.
