A unique and worthwhile time. A great 'after 2am' flick that recalled Lost In Translation - different, more like a dialogue between dreams. A lot of long-takes, very interesting when you notice how long a scene plays out. I later found out this is a crucial film in director Hong Sang-soo's filmography and after seeing it and learning why, I can confirm it to be a monument in another person's life during a time I had no part in, which makes me happier this film exists all the more.

A truly terrible movie. They only had 2 mics and you can tell, no blocking or interesting shots, looks like it was made on an iphone.
