- RT @djuna01: 2018년에 찍은 거 같습니다. 배우들은 모두 지금 고등학생이겠군요. 3 hours ago
- RT @djuna01: 네 명의 캐릭터들은 모두 배우와 이름이 같고 아마도 이들의 대사 상당수는 자기 자신의 경험을 반영하고 있는 거 같습니다. 당연하지만 캐릭터에 아주 깊이 들어가는 영화는 아니에요. 예의바르게 일정 거리를 유지하며 관찰하는 느낌에… 3 hours ago
- RT @djuna01: 조금 검색해봤는데, 역시 배우 의존도가 큰 모양이고. 흠, 초반에 나오는 콘택트 렌즈를 찾는 모험과 같은 건 의외로 각본에 바탕을 두고 있군요. 대사까지 챙겨준 건 아니겠지만. 3 hours ago
- RT @djuna01: 이게 이야기의 거의 전부입니다. 이야기의 큰 설계를 제외하면 각본도 없는 거 같아요. 리얼리티 프로그램을 보는 거 같달까. 아이들의 대사는 자체검열되어 있지만 거의 모든 게 자연스러운 애드립, 또는 애드립처럼 보이는 연기입니다. 3 hours ago
- RT @djuna01: [종착역] 보았습니다. 중학교 사진동아리에 속해있는 여자아이 네 명이 세상의 끝을 찍어오라는 여름방학 숙제를 하려고 1호선의 끝인 신창역에 갑니다. 사진 찍고 그냥 돌아오려 했는데 일이 생겨서 마을회관에서 밤을 보내요. 3 hours ago

Feast of the Seven Fishes (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A tasty Christmas romantic comedy film
The Christmas day of this year was rather uneventful for me. I was supposed to spend some cozy time with a friend of mine on that day, but, unfortunately, he had to leave due to some personal matter in the … Continue reading
Before You Know It (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): When they encounter their long-lost mother
“Before You Know It” is basically another quirky family comedy drama set in New York City, but it did its job better than expected. While it occasionally goes for silly comic moments, it steadily stays focused on the strained relationship … Continue reading

Dead Souls (2018) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): Monolithic but monumental
I must confess that I could not help but daunted when I happened to learn about Chinese documentary film “Dead Souls”. They say good films are never too long, but the running time of this monolithic documentary is more than … Continue reading
