The CinePearl Take
Kim’s patient pacing lets Paik’s philosophy breathe, especially in the segment on the legendary “TV Buddha” where the camera lingers on the flickering screen like a modern prayer. The documentary’s strongest thread is its use of Paik’s own video loops as a soundtrack, turning the film itself into a living homage. While the narrative sometimes drifts into dense jargon, the visual collage keeps the viewer engaged, making the story of the “oldest TV” feel both historic and immediate.
