If you loved The Contact, try Christmas in August

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Contact, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Christmas in August is

A hospital cafeteria’s air conditioning seems to be on permanent strike. Jung-won, a photographer whose life is draining like silver halide in developer, meets a cheerful traffic cop who clocks every red light but never sees the ones in his heart. The film knows how the story ends; we just watch it blanch under fluorescent grief.
