April 27, 2007 Haunting and unforgettableThis is one of the best films to have come out of South Korea in the last few years - and certainly the most memorable gay-themed Korean movie to date. It's also proof that a miniscule budget (of reportedly just US$100,000!) needn't compromise artistic standards. The acting is wonderful (including the superbly talented Lee Young Hoon, who is simply heartbreaking), and Leesong Hee-il's script and direction are top-notch - all the more remarkable when one considers that this was the first feature-length film for both men. Yes, the film does take an unexpected narrative shift toward the end - one that may strike some first-time viewers as implausible - but subsequent viewings should enhance one's understanding of the reasons for this change. And while it's also true that the English subtitles could have been better, I certainly had no difficulty following them.
A great film - and one that I've returned to many times. I can't wait to see what the very gifted Leesong Hee-il comes up with next.
