Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Great for people who like their stories with a little danger and fans of a well-timed joke. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Same wavelength as The Truman Show or Blindspotting.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The film starts with a man named Cho Hyuk-rae who has perched dangerously on top of the Han River Bridge. It is a sad picture of a man who has been caught unwittingly on a security camera. The camera continues to reveal the downward spiral of Cho and those of us who surround him. The 'real' images shown through the camera keep on becoming more 'corrupted' as the time goes by.
