Night and Day (2008)
7/10
slow-moving new wave
26 August 2021
This movie about a 40-ish Korean fellow on the lam in Paris is not for everyone. Some will find it slow and rambling. The protagonist meets a lot of Koreans in Paris, including romantic encounters, as he ambles around Paris, taking it one day at a time. He is an artist who specializes in cloud-scapes, perhaps symbolic of his hazy aspirations, unreliable pronouncements , and lack of solid grounding. It is reminiscent of episodic French new wave films (some of Godard's work) as well as Rohmer. We broke up the viewing into three evenings--a good way of moving through it. I am not sure we fully understood it relying on the subtitles--there was stuff we did not "get" that other viewers who can follow the Korean dialog might appreciate.
