The list is considered by the Institute to contain many surprising elements but still clearly reflects the most impressive things throughout a year of developments in the world of cinema. The films that the British Film Institute includes in the list are always very diverse, including art films, blockbusters, low-budget films...
Notably on this year's list, a Vietnamese film - Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell - appeared at number 24. The film was made by young director Pham Thien An. The British Film Institute assessed that the 34-year-old director's debut film has a hypnotic rhythm.
The film revolves around the male protagonist on his journey to bring his sister-in-law's body back to her hometown for burial. The unfortunate woman died in a traffic accident, leaving behind a young son who was only 5 years old.
The lucky child who survived the traffic accident set off with his uncle, the two of them returning to their hometown to hold a funeral for the deceased. Upon arriving home, the male protagonist recalls his childhood and youth, as well as his brother who has disappeared. The male protagonist understands that struggles have, are, and will continue to surround his life and that of his loved ones...

In May this year, at the Cannes Film Festival (France), director Pham Thien An was awarded the Golden Camera for his film Inside the Golden Cocoon. The Golden Camera at the Cannes Film Festival is awarded to honor an excellent debut film. The 3-hour film was written and directed by director Pham Thien An.
The British Film Institute commented that Inside the Golden Cocoon has brought into the male protagonist's journey the eternal question of the meaning of existence. The "Golden Cocoon" mentioned in the film's title is a metaphor for the images that we will have to leave behind after life has had its ups and downs and experiences.
The film is considered to have its own unique quality, and can be considered a very successful and impressive "transformation" of the young director in his first film. The British Film Institute assessed that Pham Thien An took off right from his first film in his career.
