I walk and walk the streets of Seoul. The buildings torn down. Erected anew. Simulacra in the name of ‘restoration’. False history. Fake modernity. Political gestures unfurled in front of them, like a live theater. The season of politics here is winter. Ihad to make this film during a cold winter. The wind blows from the right. The riot police lined up in the streets. Random interrogation of pedestrians. Protests approaching suicides. Some were burned to death during a demonstration. The former president killed himself. I wanted to capture that Seoul, gagged and bound. Was it Jean-Luc Godard who said, make your cinema political, instead of making a political film? I, along with my camera, my crew and cast, wandered around in Seoul. The movie’s „dead time” is the real time of Korea, the time in which our despair dwells. Goethe, Frankfurt 1774. Dostoevsky, St. Petersburg 1848. Seoul, 2009. Dead times. No more deaths. (Jung Sung-il)

This formally rigorous, but sprawling and endlessly playful examination of unrequited love trails a heartsick music teacher as he wanders the lonely streets of Seoul. Having recently been unceremoniously dumped by his married lover, he finds himself drawn to a young woman in her own state of romantic purgatory. Writer-director Jung Sung-il may prove to be Korea’s answer to Jean-Luc Godard, an adventurous film critic turned auteur with an audacious vision. Witness Café Noir, his ambitious, subversively funny film debut that references Goethe, Dostoyevsky, leftist politics, Bollywood, and Christianity while paying loving homage to the last decade of Korean cinema.

- 영화소개 : Respected critic and programmer Jung makes his directorial debut with this ambitious, sprawling drama, loosely based on the works of Dostoevsky and Goethe. One Christmas Eve, a music teacher finds himself caught between the ghost of a former lover and a new woman with her own distinct ideas about romance. Vaguely reminiscent of Hong Sang-soo, Cafe Noir is a literary, challenging and demanding film. Jung effortlessly jumps between cinematic models without being erudite, exploring the nature of love's influence on us.
