a dichotomy
January. 01,2016다이코터미 refers to the dichotomy between memory of place and gaze. The film represents medium-specific noise and fragments created about a specific city beyond memory. The same place, but different perspectives and fragmented molecules discontinuously reorganize the order and indicators of space and time. The two different directions of gaze and time and space are imitations of each other. The noise generated by the characteristics of the 16mm film medium expresses the fragmented molecules of memory in time and space.
Reviews
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
