Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Leesong Hee-il is a pioneer of Korean queer cinema; this was his fifth feature and cemented his reputation for unflinching portrayals of gay male desire in a socially conservative industry.
The title references Dostoevsky's 'White Nights'—both feature lonely protagonists who find brief connection before returning to isolation, though here the 'white night' is Seoul's perpetual electric glow rather than St. Petersburg's midnight sun.
