Chilli and Banana

About This Movie

Chilli and Banana is one of those indie gems that captures the nuances of love and struggle in everyday life. You have Do-jin, this down-on-his-luck guy trying to make sense of his feelings for Eun-ha, a chance encounter that sparks something deeper. The film's pacing has a gentle rhythm, almost like a slow simmer, allowing the romance to breathe between the plot's demands. The performances feel genuine, with an understated charm that keeps it grounded. It’s got this warm, almost nostalgic atmosphere, contrasting Do-jin's financial troubles with his yearning for connection. The practical effects, though minimal, add a layer of authenticity to the camping site scenes. Definitely a unique take on romance, layered in its simplicity.
