Weekend Movie Forecast: Amelia Vs. Antichrist

Night and Day, the new film by acclaimed South Korean director Sang-soo Hong, tells the story of a married man who escapes to Paris, where nobody knows him, after a paranoid drug experience, and has a series of encounters with different women while exploring the city. Scott Foundas of the Village Voice liked it: "Structured as a series of diary entries, the film has an episodic flow: in between extramarital dalliances (which are more like lunges), Sung-nam pleads for his wife to masturbate to him over the phone, drunkenly insults a visiting North Korean student at a party, and even turns to the Bible for answers—only to find that there are none. Some of it is hilarious, some sad, all filtered through Hong's inimitably wry take on the unbearable lightness of being . . . himself."
