Review

A film will always be a question and a mystery that captivates filmmakers. Leonor, a retired writer who enjoyed success in writing the screenplays for Filipino action films in the 1970s and 1980s, takes out a long-buried screenplay and starts writing again. One day, he is hit in the head by a television that fell from the sky, falls into a coma, and enters the story he is writing. What is cinema to Leonor, to Escobar who directed this film as her first feature, and to the audience who experience crossing the boundary between the two films? The film is action; it is the glory of the past; it is a dead son; it is a typewriter that makes machine gun sounds. Also, the film is in a coma; it is an incomplete ending; it is numerous video clips in an editing program. The film is friendship; a sacrifice for friendship. And film may be a song that follows death. [CHO Hyo Jin]
