How Kogonada Established A Cinematic Style - Columbus and After Yang

Kogonada is one of the best working directors in film today. His two feature films, Columbus and After Yang, contain unique elements which are vital to his identity as a filmmaker. These works are incredibly profound and moving, and two I consider to be very close to myself. Let me know your thoughts on both of them down below.
