Very Korean in its emotional content,, an easily digestible metaphysical piece but nothing to wax lyrical about.

On the run from the law in his native South Korea, Seong-nam(Kim Yeong-ho), an art student, ends up in Paris where he lives in a guesthouse room with ten other people. Seeking a little elbow room, he hangs out in the lounge where he reads the only available book, the Bible. He also gets out from time to time, reconnecting with Min-seon(Kim Yoo-jin), an ex-girlfriend.
Like its sort of protagonist who is barely intriguing enough to be of interest, "Night and Day" is a shambling and random movie, along with being very episodic and improvised. But even from thousands of miles away, the movie does have some incisive things to say about South Korea, namely how strict the laws there are concerning smoking marijuana.(Like you need a reason to visit Paris, anyway.) And the North Korean character, Keong-soo(Lee Sun-kyun), is a nice touch.

Way too long and slow for its own good. However, Sang-soo Hong always has something to say worth observing.

Una decepción. TenÃa muchas ganas de verla, ya que actua Park Eun-hye. Pero la cinta es super lenta, sin una lÃnea de historia y un uso de cámara tan tÃmido que desespera. Lo unico rescatable que hizo que le pusiera 2 estrellas, es la locación, que es filmada en Paris y el hecho de que salga Park Eun-hye. Pero hasta su personaje es irritante. No la recomiendo para nada.

No synoptical sentence necessary other than to say it's another HONG Sang-soo film. It didn't irritate me. I liked the guy and one of the girls. For almost every winning scene there's a companion scene of superfluous indulgence. I keep trying. Even tried to follow up with HaHaHa but recognized I need recovery time to cleanse the palette.
