What? Why?
18 May 2020
I don't really know what I was expecting from this film, the fact that it was only 1 hour and 8 minutes long, a lovely poster of the film, sunny and happy and then the word 'friendship' in the synopsis. Somehow I guess I expected a sweet and cute little film, something like a french-korean Before Sunrise, but it was not. Like other user reviewers have already mentioned, it's a very awkward film, I would guess the whole film is built up by 10 scenes, long takes with not much happening. The times I felt I got involved in the story, was when there was some drama between the korean actors, like the Director telling the Producer Lady his feelings about her, that was actually good. But the scenes with Isabelle was pretty stiff, shaky english and the dialouge became much slower than when they spoke in their native language. There's probably many things I missed with the film, but I'm not too eager to return back to it for a second watch, even if the film is just over 1 hour.
