A prominent up-and-coming author Min-woo readies his new much anticipated follow-up novel while suffering from frequent nightmares and hallucinations. This unexplainable condition affects both his personal and professional life. Soon he can’t differentiate reality from fantasy and continues to have feelings of being chased. His own paranoia leads him to a café in a dark, unassuming alley and encounters a charming young woman named Mimi. Min-woo starts to wonder how he and this girl in front of him are connected and traces long-forgotten memories of his first love.
My comments:
I don't have much to say because I'm not sure if I fully got M...Although that I find it confusing and messy with the flashbacks and the time jumping back and forth, I'm actually pretty intrigued by it and I wasn't bored for a movie that's almost 2 hours long with no much happening but seeing someone mad. Even halfway through the movie, I had not idea what is really going on. However, it's really beautifully shot with most scenes in dark but the colors are mesmerizing. It keeps us guessing what's up with Minwoo; is he dreaming, hallucinating, is it all real or he's simply schizophrenic? I didn't find it surprising about the identity of Mimi and what happened to her. Anyway, this is not my type of movie so watching one like that from time to time is an interesting experience.
