The film’s title Eephus refers to a baseball pitch thrown with deliberate slowness, making it more challenging for the batter to hit than a fastball. Though the concept may be contradictory—how can something be more difficult to hit because it is slower?—this contradiction, when you sit with it, is fascinating and philosophically profound. In Eephus, an amateur baseball team invites the audience to the team’s final game before their town stadium is demolished. People who have shared this community space together gather to laugh, share the feeling of emptiness, and enjoy to the fullest the place that has brought them together. Set in the 1990s, this film uses the rhythm of the seemingly endless game to show the inevitable passage of time. (Sung MOON)
