The film is mostly just looking at the lead character's face as she looks around the world and inside her own head. That's a tough acting job. I'm not familiar with the actress, Gong Seung-yeon, but she seemed wonderfully dialed into it Show two people standing (uncomfortably) next to one another smoking ciggies. One character asks the other "How's it going?". The other character responds "Okay" , pause ... and call it a scene. God I love that kind of stuff if it works. The whole film is mostly like that and for me it mostly all works The soundtrack (sans shoegaze :) ) is soothing, to say the least. Very liquid This is one of those films that, if you like these kinds of films, is a good one. The "story", the "theme of loneliness" were pretty irrelevant to me. They might be critiqued or lauded by those into that kind of thing. For me it was about spending time with, and observing, this main character. I'm happy to have met her Summary: A solitary woman re-evaluates her isolated existence after her neighbor dies alone in his apartment.Plot summaryAdd synopsis |
