버닝 (2018)

Two childhood friends, who grew up in a farming village outside of Seoul, meet as adults, at random. They have not seen one another in years. They go out for drinks and reminisce. The young woman has been studying pantomime, and she shows off some of what she has learned. She
pantomimes eating a tangerine and her gestures are so specific you could swear the tangerine was really there. He is amazed at the illusion. She tells him that if he ever is hungry for anything, he can create it on his own like this. Now coming to it's actual facts, the movie is show but keeps you going. You will never know when it turns. At right around two and a half hours, this quiet, show-paced character study offers a lot of food for thought while keeping the audience at arm's length. #Slow paced #touching #amazed #foody #korean
