Review:-

DAYTIME DRINKING (South Korea 2008) **
Directed by Noh Young-seok

Low budget first feature by Noh tells a story using minimal props, lighting and what else.  The film contains minimal plot too and follows Hyuk-jin (Song Sam-dong) as he meets friends after being dumped by his girlfriend.  Against his will, he agrees to go with them on a trip to Jeongseon in the distant province of Gangwon-do. Waking up the next, chilly morning at the Jeongseon bus stop, he discovers, after many cigarettes and phone calls, that none of his friends made it to the resort, nor have any intention of joining him.  The movie goes on and on without any direction and I am still in wonder the reason this film has had so much success at so many film festivals.  See and judge for yourself but I find this film extremely slow and boring.
