The Crossing

Directed by Kim Sook-hyun

Synchronic and diachronic figures and texts are mutually connected, at the same time, however conflict each other. The figures and texts reveal what are visual, objective, and real. Images on the film, which is the most basic material in cinematography, are like words and symbols in language in that they are also part of the material. Visual symbols and written language need to be intertwined to visualize images. Evoking vitality in cinematography, long-term effort and language play a dual role in movies.
