A year ago a friend and I saw BURNING (2018) in the cinema, and absolutely fell in love with it. Now that it's out on 4K, we decided to do a Burning Night where we rewatched the movie after reading the original short story (this one, barely 13 pages).

My friend has never really read anything for pleasure but he really enjoyed this. It really is a pretty great short story, with the adaptation being surprisingly faithful as well (as faithful as a 2 and a half hour movie can be to a 13-page short story).

Well worth reading!
