Open the Door starts with two drunken men at night. In New Jersey, the US, Chi-hoon (Seo Youngju) drinks with his brother-in-law Moon-suk (Lee Soonwon). While recollecting their memories from the past, they dredge up memories of the misfortune they have tried to bury, and Moon-suk reveals something secret as he becomes increasingly overwhelmed. Written and directed by helmer Chang Hangjun, this film takes the form of a mystery where hidden stories are unfolded little by little tracing back to the past. What matters more than the truth in the past is how it is revealed. The film consists of four chapters that gradually amplify as the characters collapse with anxieties and doubts. It is amazing to see how the film develops tension using limited spaces, characters, and long-paced camera walks. (SONG Kyung-won)
