This Paper examines a meaning of close-up especially in the context of the concepts of the “microphysiognomy “and “polyphonic play” which are crucial to the film theory of Bela Balazs. The Hungarian Intellectual, Bela Balazs was one of the classical film thinkers who pursuit to construct film theory, whose purpose is to design the model of the ‘visual unconscious’. Among others, Bela Balazs shed light on the function of the camera, which enable the film to incarnate and visualize the subtle emotional oscillation. He also pointed out that function of the close-up as the signification or para-proxemity, i,e, a sort of the effect of identification. In this paper this idea of close-up as autonomous tactic of expression was also exemplified by the newest Korean film <Bleak Night>, which is one of the successful independent films in 2011.
