Sohn Koo-Yong – Night Walk (2023)

Small nightly monochrome silent landscapes to observe and enter another time to feel how everyday transforms through the gaze.
—
This gorgeous landscape film is an invitation to the magical wonders of the night. Sohn Koo-yong’s second feature is a soothing, silent caress for our senses. Composed of a series of deliciously framed still shots and abstract drawings made by the filmmaker himself, superimposed onto the filmed images, it will enthral you with an enchanting ambience and unique lyricism. Without any sound or music, it speaks in a selection of poems by the Seonbi of the Joseon Dynasty that melts into the nightscape.

Shot across several seasons during a series of night walks, the film is set in Segeomjeong, an idiosyncratic neighbourhood in Seoul which combines the city architecture with all-embracing nature: the delightful mélange of the moon and the stars, the fluttering leaves of trees, passing cars, the abstract figures formed by artificial lights, occasional visits of birds and cats, the reflections in the water of a brook, the geometries of mountains and electrical wires… Night Walk is an otherworldly visual song to accompany the dreams of those who remain awake after the setting of the sun.
