Jun Jong-Seo is a Korean actress whose star is rising very rapidly, and I think her three most American movies make an excellent, impromptu trilogy.
She barely has any filmography so far, only 7 movies (and at least started her acting career on break from college.)
But my favorite films of hers make a trilogy, where she is a central figure of concern, and we see thematic progress in her arcs.
Movie 1 is "Burning," which was a critical darling about perspective and the hero-narratives we make for ourselves and never really knowing someone. I consider this the "Death" or "Non-existence" arc.
Movie 2 is "Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon," a psychedelic neon dream on the streets of New Orleans, with house-mix soundtrack to boot. I consider this the "Freedom" or "Actualization" arc.
Movie 3 is "Ballerina," a Netflix paint-by-numbers revenge flick. But it's executed really well with gorgeous action scenes and a classic lesbian-tragic series of flashbacks that's so popular these days. I consider this the "Responsibility" or "Power Trip" arc.
