10.0/10★★★★★ 10.0The film's flow is taking steps into the gray reality behind the golden lights of Hollywood; while the camera captures the touch of everyday life behind the stage, it makes the fine balance between light and shadow visible. The sound design leaves a deep feeling for the audience, as well as for the echoes behind the billboards, as well as for the after-dinnery laughter as a flowing melody.
These mechanical transitions cause the audience to disappear between both stage and off-stage worlds; the color palette behind the stage offers a contrast that supports the emotional tone of the film. Beyond the fictional story, documentary quality displays real Hollywood characters.
The director also gives freedom to background figures, and keeps the audience interested in their stories. One important point is that he creates an experience that brings out the invisible moments behind the stage, bringing the audience beyond the scenes. As he explores both the aesthetic and emotional aspects of Hollywood, he makes the audience think and think.
By simply presenting the complex structure of the backstage, the film allows the audience to reflect on their own imagination.
✓Pros1
- The deep sound design introduces a live atmosphere behind the scenes, giving the audience a unique perspective on background characters, and visually, light and shadow games present a consistent aesthetics throughout the film.
✕Cons1
- In some parts of the fiction, the tempo fluctuation can make it difficult for the audience to focus. The intensity of the documentary format can be exhausting for some viewers.
