White Night starts off with a flight attendant returning home to Korea for the first time in years, chatting with an acquaintance and (sort of) hooking up with someone he meets online. That ’s about all I can tell you about the story, because the first half hour of the film was utterly unengaging, to the point that I felt no sympathy, empathy, or interest for the main character. If you get 40% of the way through your film without giving me the slightest reason to care what happens, then it’s game over: I walked out. I’m told by friends who stayed to the end, that the film eventually illuminates some of Won-gyu’s actions in the light of past events, but I remain skeptical. Certainly not the worst film I’ve seen, but all the same, I cannot recommend it.
Hi! Can you say where you watched the movie? Was english subs?
ReplyDeleteI saw it with English subtitles at the Frameline 37 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
