16-Jan-2020
A lonely man sets out in search of his soul mate after what he believes to be a fateful encounter with a banana. “Loveseat,” directed by Grace Kim, expresses its tale of longing with quirky, surreal gestures. The crossword-puzzle obsessed Jared is going about his daily life when he gets a mysterious phone call. He doesn’t recognize the woman’s voice on the other end of the line, nor does he understand how she’s being transmitted through a non-phone, but that doesn’t stop him from feeling an instant bond and going to extreme lengths to track her down. A film about delusional (or projection), just as much as it is about hope, it’s propped up by colorfully composed visuals and elaborate production design involving hundreds of bananas. -KA. Directed by Grace Kim. Cast: Victor Cruz, Schann Mobley. Director of Photography: Woonjae Park. Editor: Emily Chao. Producer: Jr Davis, Gisell Arismendi. Sound Designer: Ash Knowlton. Production Designer: Simon Schabert.
