Night and Day
By Hong Sang-soo
Kim Sung-Nam is a 40ish, married painter who takes it on the lam to Paris after getting caught smoking pot in Seoul. But his escape doesn’t come a moment too soon: feeling trapped in life and blocked in his art, the getaway proves welcome — only now that he’s actually settled in the City of Light, what should he do? Hong Sang-soo creates a beautifully observed, characteristically wry chronicle of Sung-nam’s attempt to savor his wandering year even if it’s come 20 years too late. Is love in the air – or is it just Paris? (NY Film Festival) (2008, 144 min, 35mm)
