Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kogonada storyboarded every memory sequence as a different film genre, which is why Sarah's childhood looks like a Malick film while David's reeks of 90s indie grit.
The 'door' as metaphor is deliberately overexplained because Kogonada wanted audiences arguing about whether it's magic or metaphor—he refuses to confirm.
