Movie and TV show reviews

In the movie, Kang skillfully establishes her characters with a strong, almost instructional feel, yet manages to do so efficiently due to the film’s compact 67-minute length. The introductory scene shows Su-hwan (played by Kim Seol-jin), a quiet individual getting ready for a friend’s wedding afterparty, while an acquaintance interrogates him about his financial troubles without realizing Su-hwan’s health struggles. Instead of defending himself, Su-hwan subtly withdraws within the frame’s boundaries. The scene then transitions to distressing close-ups of a stranger, Yeong-gyeong (portrayed by Han Ye-ri), at the previously mentioned event. This woman, whose enigmatic pain is overwhelming, downs shots of soju amidst passed-out guests before Su-hwan — the only other conscious person present — helps her home on his back, while she shares tender, lyrical whispers with him.

In a shift from his Michael Jordan documentary “The Last Dance,” Rogal, the producer, stepped back onto the basketball court, this time with a broader global perspective for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on Jordan, he spotlighted modern basketball icons such as LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Durant, along with international stars like Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama. Over six episodes, “Court of Gold” chronicled the journeys of teams from countries like the U.S., France, Serbia, and Canada as they pursued Olympic gold in Paris during the previous summer.

According to the book titled “Peter Hujar’s Day” by Linda Rosenkrantz, Ira Sachs’ new film is a sequel to “Passages”, starring Ben Whishaw and Franz Rogowski. In this latest production, Whishaw is joined on-screen by Rebecca Hall, who portray friends Peter Hujar (Whishaw) and Linda Rosenkrantz (Hall). Over the course of a day in December 1974, their characters connect, capturing an intimate dialogue that transpired between them. Sachs drew inspiration for this film from a real-life conversation’s transcript between these two individuals.
