Motherhood

March 29, 2019 by admin

  Young Joon Kwak and Kim Ye promenade down a small–town sidewalk in flowing pastel robes and lingerie. They feed each other ramen with seductive and messy fervor. They wrestle provocatively, thick makeup smearing down their faces. These vignettes weave in and out of each other, a fractured narrative filmed in 2018 in the idylls of Banff, Canada. The dreamlike three–channel film serves as the […]
