After taking the Korean Competition Grand Prize and the best acting award (Moon Seung-a) at the Jeonju Intl. Film Festival, “Scattered Night” now heads to San Sebastian’s New Directors selection.
An intimate portrayal of a family whose members are deeply isolated from one another, the film follows two parents overwhelmed by their responsibilities, their own expectations and the expectations society imposes on them.
Their two young kids Sumin (Moon Seung- a) and Jinho (Choi Junwoo) are surprisingly precocious while coping with the emotional blow and confusion of the aftermath of a divorce.
Sol and Lee’s first feature film exemplifies transforming limitations into advantages. The two female filmmakers observe family drama through sustained and restrained shots that allow the viewer to experience through Sumin’s point of view. A slow and steady pace that displays the intricacies and complexities of family life without passing judgement.
