Putting A Brighter Summer Day on the weekend list. How much attention does it need on a first watch?

Tadhg, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

A Brighter Summer Day is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Oisin, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering A Brighter Summer Day: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
