Poet and visual artist from rural WA reminds us to take comfort in the beauty of nature

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart will be discussing a pair of movies, both imports, that revolve around women looking for, among other things, some sense of their authentic selves. First up is the English-made “The Lost King” followed by the Korean-French film “Return to Seoul.”

The French-Cambodian co-production “Return to Seoul” is about a young woman searching for her biological parents and, in turn, her true self. Nathan Weinbender says it’s one of the best movies of the year so far, and is worth seeking out.
