Sleepless Night

2012, 65 mins.

Director : Jang Kun-jae.

Starring : Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Joo-ryeong.

The winner of both the Audience and Best Korean Film prizes at the Jeonju International Film Festival, this second feature from young director Jang (Eighteen) is an intimate portrait of a working-middle-class married couple in their early thirties struggling through daily trials and facing the decision of whether to start a family. Finely directed with deceptively simple performances, this short feature is an intense pleasure to experience.
