[First Reaction] Cineplay Critic’s Rating for ‘The Table: Day and Night’

By the final scene, Kim Jong-kwan’s short-film debut, 〈How to Operate a Polaroid Camera〉 (2004), the work that brought him to attention, suddenly comes to mind. From memories and scents that would otherwise simply slip away to feelings of conflict and catharsis, and even the different hours of day and night, the film persistently captures intimate, analog moments at tables throughout the café, as if using a Polaroid camera—almost like an experimental film.
