Review

How does poetry feel? An editor, Yeong-in, falls into deep thought as she edits a poetry book. Since the process of reading poems and forming sympathy-based bonds doesn’t come naturally, Yeong-in participates in a poetry reading, records her voice, turns the recording into vibrations, and absorbs them. The film doesn’t neatly explain what troubles its characters. Instead, it offers spaces, like lines of a poem, that leave gaps for the audience to squeeze through and calmly shows the process of a printed poem morphing into sounds—finally moving to Yeong-in’s fingertips. (CHO Hyun-na)
