This is film is the most boring by Korean auteur Hong Sang Soo, but it's also his most consistently funny and amusing. It's one of his longest but is filled with episodes that seem too short and end abruptly. it features a dead bird that curiously hops around at the end of the film. despite being called "night and day," the film hardly features a night-time scene, but you know when its daytime here its nighttime on the other side of the globe. likewise, its's a film of contradictions. night and day.
the film features a real pig (not a figurative one as in hong's debut feature) but of course **spoiler alert** you realize the main character dreamt it **end of spoiler**. question: how real is that pig? the film was shot in Paris, but the city of light looks as bland as city of soju. this is one of hong's worst films, but because he's made only a handful its also one of his best. i give the film 1 star but really, i should give it 10. finally, its a film of contradictions (ditto) - hong always formulates his films in twos, as did i for this review.
