Time of Cinema (2026)

Cinema is something else

So this is certainly one of the movies of all time. I say that because the movie is unique but strange. This is a visual film that depicts several episodes in the life of a cinema, and which should be watched in a cinema, preferably while falling asleep in a comfortable armchair. And I literally fell asleep during the viewing twice, even though I was watching it over the internet on a monitor. The film has no specific plot with a setup and resolution, but only video associations on the theme of watching films.
It consists of 3 segments, or short films.

Chimpanzee (침판지) is about 3 chimpanzees and three friends who watch movies together in the cinema.
Naturally (자연스럽게) is about children whose play becomes a film.
Time of the Movie (영화의 시간) is about… I don’t really know, maybe exactly about how to fall asleep in the cinema.

This is an art film and it’s not really for the general audience, but for those who watch a lot of movies, often go to the cinema, and value film as art, it will certainly be interesting.

PS. In my 40 years of life, I’ve been to the cinema about 700 times. I most often go alone, and about 20 times I was the only viewer in the cinema hall. That’s the feeling I want to share here. Some people like watching movies in a packed cinema full of people, but for me it’s a special feeling when I have the cinema and the film all to myself.
