Inspired by a murder case in Washington, Benton in 2018, 〈Choong-Choong-Choong〉 portrays a catastrophe sparked by the intersecting desires of three kids.

How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

I am drawn to music in film. At times, music reveals a character's private emotions in ways images and dialogue cannot. It can also open a window into a creator’s hidden intent. For me, understanding film music was one way into the film itself. "Chu A-young's Music Box" listens closely to a film’s voice through its music. (P.S. I hope you listen to the music while you read.)
Director Aoyama Shinji's film 〈Eureka〉 is a road movie about wounded people who travel an endless road in search of the possibility of healing and renewal. The characters, survivors of a terror that shattered ordinary life, set out on a trip to escape the trauma of the incident.
Critic Kim Na-hee’s “Vivaldi and Me” ② The Moment When Beings We Had Only Heard Appear

Critic Kim Na-hee’s “Vivaldi and Me” ② The Moment When Beings We Had Only Heard Appear

Spring isn’t just the season when flowers bloom. It’s the moment when the beings we could only hear finally begin to be seen.
For a brief moment, we may feel like we understand or truly know the other person—so convinced that we believe it. Communication through music is like that. In the deepest layer of their relationship, we see it in Vivaldi’s confession—when, in the middle of the night, he comes first to Cecilia’s...

[Seong Chan-eol's Manga Books] A Class-Defying Romance That Slowly Seeps In Like Ink in Water 「Emma」

I'm obsessed with subculture. I check out anything that handles fresh stories, ideas, or characters—not only films but webtoons, games, comics, and animation. Having opened the door to the world of 'geek' through printed manga, I now read comics on e-books and webtoons on my smartphone—I've become...

[Chua-young's Music Box] May Madness Reign on This Land! '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' and 'The Number of the Beast'

[Chua-young's Music Box] May Madness Reign on This Land! '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' and 'The Number of the Beast'

I am captivated by the music in movies. Music sometimes conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues alone. It can also serve as a window into the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the film more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
〈28 Days Later〉(2002) is the authentic sequel to 〈28 Years Later〉(2025), the second installment of 〈28 Years Later: The Bone Temple〉(hereafter 〈The Bone Temple〉).

'Bride!' A Message of Revolution Deconstructed by a 170-Year-Old Author and a Masterpiece from 90 Years Ago

〈Bride. 〉 is bold. It borrows from the masterpiece 〈Bride of Frankenstein〉, which is regarded as a classic in the 〈Frankenstein〉 franchise. In an era where remakes and reboots are commonplace, bringing back a masterpiece from over 90 years ago is a courageous choice.
