"The Table: Day and Night" opens the Busan Film Festival with a caffeinated romance
An anthology of four encounters in the same café, starring Kim Min-ha and Han Sun-hwa.
The film The Table: Day and Night opened the Busan Film Festival. Director Kim Jong-kwan offers four romantic vignettes set in the same trendy Seoul café. The encounters, spread over several weeks from summer to autumn, bring together a star-studded cast: Kim Min-ha, Shim Eun-kyung and Han Sun-hwa. The idea of a single location sets the tone, but it eventually overwhelms the stories. The mood is light, almost frothy, and the emotional commitment varies from moment to moment. The film will likely appeal to Asian-focused specialty programs, but it may go unnoticed elsewhere. (Variety)
