In Between Days
So Yong Kim’s debut film about the struggle with language and love. I watched it this evening at the IFC–small theater, plush seats, bar downstairs–and called my buddy Heesok immediately afterwards, urging him to watch it. Here’s a review by Nathan Lee:
Written and directed by So Yong Kim, a multimedia artist making her remarkable feature debut, In Between Days is the story of Aimie’s faltering relationship to Tran, and of the melancholy stasis of a life neither here nor there, arrested in a state of threshold uncertainty. In other words, an intensely specific film about the universal yearnings of adolescence, here rendered doubly resonant through a fluent synthesis with the immigrant experience.
