Bong says that he chose the English word mother as his title to avoid the associations of the Korean word omoni, but it's probably no coincidence that the Korean pronunciation of mother also sounds like the Korean pronunciation of murder. Also like Kim So-yong's film, Lecomte's film works because the kids seem to flow through the film naturally, rather than coming off as forced into cuteness or obnoxiousness, something I found disrupting Korean kid-vehicles earlier in the 21st century, such as The Way Home and When I Turned Nine.

At the center of all these crazy antics, Uhm Tae-woong is perfect as our (relatively speaking) normal hero: his absurdly commonsensical response to the surrounding chaos becomes mercilessly hilarious by the climax. A divorced working mom’s best efforts to provide for her infant daughter and fight for her custody from her ex-husband goes horribly wrong.

Then there's the geologist (Park Joong-hoon returns!)

As a result, along with kids whose parents had passed away, some kids were left at orphanages for complicated economic reasons. Outwardly Daytime Drinking could be mistaken for a low-octane parody of a Hong Sang-soo film (the main characters swig hard liquor like whales in both cases: well, this one is called Daytime Drinking after all, and no, we are not talking about afternoon tea here), but it's far loosely structured and plainly mounted, and its ultimately good-natured, deadpan humor is pretty unique, at least among Korean movies. Or maybe that was a put-on, too, since we never see her once without looking like she just stepped out of a Vogue photo spread. There's a scene in A Brand New Life where the orphans laugh in the face of a church-imposed public confession that is one of the more original moments of child agency I've seen in a film for some time. Marine Boy is a typical commercial "action film" being turned out with a sense of foot-dragging futility by the Korean industry these days. Min-seo is particularly well drawn: rebellious and not particularly nice, she is an unpredictable and magnetic screen presence. ), Ms. Kim is a recluse who has not ventured out of her room for years. Making sense of it all at first is a mental challenge, but the film gives back at least as much as you put into it. There are at least two sequences in this film that matches in sheer audacity and jaw-dropping hutzpah the notorious "long-take corridor action" set piece in Oldboy.

However I seem to be in the minority here -- most people I talk to adore this film.

Kim will eat a lot of mushrooms in the coming weeks and months, and his isolation will slowly but surely start to change him. It takes a premise and a plot vaguely reminiscent of a '70s or '80s Hollywood action thriller (this time, it's Peter Benchley's The Deep, itself more than a little schlocky and illogical) and tries to update them with slick visuals imported from TV commercials, while "Koreanizing" the characters by burdening them with arch-melodramatic gestures, dialogues and motivations. As a result, the greater whole of Treeless Mountain has me rethinking my critical approach to globalization if such is the mechanism that serves up cinematic gems like this alongside greasy burgers and overly-sugared, blended milk drinks where espresso is an afterthought. However, only one of them, Eon-joo (Jang Gyung-ah), jumps to her death, her mangled body to be discovered by her shocked sister Jeong-eon (Yoo Shin-ae). The filmmakers eventually resort to improbable coincidences and a bit of cheating. I think Ross Chen at Lovehkfilm.com hit the nail on the head when he said that the film lacks heart -- as entertaining as it is, you never really develop any emotional attachment to the characters. Fourth, Sang-in tells Mo-rae over dinner that he's expecting a mentor to help him plan the menu for his dream restaurant: a brilliant young French-Korean chef who will arrive that evening.

A bad gambling habit, however, ruins him financially. It's director Kim's decision not to portray the aunt as violent, nor her actions as solely the result of her addiction, an addiction that is patiently revealed to us, coupled with the subtle exhaustion of the mother and the casual, everyday, kind approach of the grandmother that most endears this film to me. Nonetheless, despite Woochi 's strengths, it lacks the punch and linguistic inventiveness of his previous film Tazza (2006). However the man, named Karim, soon realizes what happens and manages to chase Min-seo down in a side street.

The script explores this intelligently, as when Mo-rae tells Du-re, "To me, love doesn't mean much. We also feel for the other characters in the film -- photographers, Vogue editors, star managers and so forth (all playing themselves) -- who visibly struggle to make sure that all goes according to plan and nobody storms off the photo set. obscuring mechanism for those depressing and inevitable insights Paju's other key strength is the sheer cinematic pleasure of watching it. Relieved that their first murder case in living memory is so cut-and dried, the police pack Do-joon away. The Korean title is nothing but the English word Kitchen, so that's what I'll call it here.).

Of course, since Handphone's hateful depiction of humanity is based on the relational dynamics of the Korean society as well as the stereotypes of its members, we might accept that the scope of its misanthropy is limited to those whom we see around us.
