Review
Miju decides to stay for a night at the home of her grandfather, who has passed away. Far from having accepted her grandfather’s death, Miju expresses her grief by burying her face in blankets that carry her grandfather’s smell and finds traces of her grandfather in the different things that she’s touched. To share these traces with the audience, the camera stays on some objects for a long time. These still images also seem to reflect Miju’s wish to hold onto her time with her grandfather. By adding a fantastic element around a bicycle thief, the film sustains a quiet rhythm as it portrays Miju's growth by tracking how her acceptance of the absence and loss of her grandfather turns into grief. (CHOI Jinyoung)
