break the boring daily life
highjin1 August 2021
Sometimes human want aberrant behavior that break the boring routine life. But the deviance human want are limited to small things as much it does not break the peace of one's daily life. The meaning of the movie's title, xylophone, is just that much deviant behavior. A sound enough to break the silence, but not enough to break the peace.

It could be an affair, it could be imagining an affair, more boldly, it could be stalking someone, or it could be being stalked by someone. The characters in the film accept it as a fresh variation of life, as long as the variation does not break their life. Of course, it didn't turn out to be the gentle breeze they wished for.

The acting of the female protagonist was also splendid, but the directing of the each scene was excellent both aesthetically and meaningfully. In particular, the last scene in which the female protagonist falls asleep after several yawns implicitly shows the theme of this movie.

Will you choose the pounding of catastrophe once again? Or will you cover a cozy blanket of boredom?

It was a delicate and wonderful film in that it touched the subtle impulses within the human psyche inside.
