I think I've watched 2 or 3 times already. The movie is sweet and the poor accident prone woman played by Shin Eun Kyung, who works and is friends with some characters.
It is really worth seeing.

The Love That Is Wrong
February 24, 2003 This movie sucks!I was hoping for some meaningful interactions between the characters or even some comedy but they were no where to be found. The acting is not even that good. I did not finish the movie.
Two women are having a relationship and one decides she wants a baby. She seduces a male co-worker and has a hard time with her feelings. Her girlfriend asks her to commit suicide together, she drinks all the poison and dies, the girlfriend slits her wrist in an attempt to commit suicide also, but doesn't succeed. You can see this is from things going from bad to worse.
Good luck, hope you have better luck with this movie than I did.

January 13, 2003 Good film, worth seeing.
This movie is interesting and had some great effects! It is a trip to watch a movie in Polish after watching so many asian movies. This movie is not what you expect, you can't guess the whole story after 5 minutes.

The Harmonium in My Memory
January 13, 2003 This movie is very goodThis movie is really worth seeing. The story was so good and I agree with one of the earlier reviewers that it is not predictable. Love the actors and actresses in it too, they are some of the best. This film I would say is one of the better Korean movies I've seen and there are many good ones in my opinion.

A Century of Japanese Cinema - Lovers Lost
1 people found the following helpful
January 13, 2003 Good story...This is a good story, it keeps you interested and has tragedy and some shocking revelations between it's characters. This movie has a few themes and tells the story of a few main characters and doesn't just focus on one person. It is tender love story and a very masculine story about a pool hustler. The drama is almost harsh in some ways.
The movie takes you through many different feelings but that is what makes it good.

January 1, 2003 Interesting movie
This movie is interesting because it is about an Iranian tribe and seems to show some of their customs or lifestyle. Other than that it is okay. Average film, not a masterpiece.

January 1, 2003 The best Japanese film I've seen this year.
This movie is one of the best movies I've seen this year. It is a cool combination Japanese and French. The film has the right combination of Action and Humor.
Jean Reno is like a French Dirty Harry and Ryoko Hirosue is excellent in her role also. This film is Tops! See it, it will well be worth your while.

Sada (Hong Kong Version)
Sada (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3
(2)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:January 1, 2003 Good Artsy MovieThis is a good movie. I would say it is on the artsy side. It is about a woman who kills her lover and castrates him. It is telling her story of how she got into that situation and her tragic life although the story is made in almost a humourous or light way. You have to see it to know exactly what I am talking about. The film is definitely worth seeing if you like different and artsy films.

January 1, 2003 Excellent Film!I was a little hesitant in picking up this film when I read one of the first reviews here but the film is excellent. Korean's make some great horror films, just like Nightmare or the remake of the Ring they are unique and you can't figure them out in two seconds like many American horror movies.
The movie has a great looking cast and a good suspenseful scary story. It earns as many stars as possible!

Hollywood Hong Kong
January 1, 2003 Good movie but did not rock my world...This movie was original and well acted. It was also humourous but it did not move me like some of the other Art films from Hong Kong or anywhere for that fact. Looking forward to more Art films from HK.

August 21, 2002 High quality, good story, unique!I wasn't really sure what to make of the film just seeing the reviews. But it was a pleasant surprise and I was really impressed and enjoyed the film. It is artsy and tells the story in a way that most films don't tell a story. The acting was great and the quality of the filming was very good also.
If you like Artsy this is for you.

August 21, 2002 Very good movie
This movie is very good and probably would be considered a classic. It is the story of a young doctor who is from a rich family having to start his career in a poor clinic. I was referred to this film by a friend and think I will check out more of Akira Kurosawa's work it is high quality.
I highly recommend this film.

Die Bad
August 15, 2002 Good FilmThe story is very good and well acted. I think it was very original. The quality of the film was not as good as most I have seen from Korea usually their film quality is excellent. But all in all it is worth watching it is a dark story about how some kids lives are changed by a bar fight. It is a good meaningful drama.

Women from Mars (US Version)
August 15, 2002 This movie was okayThis movie was entertaining but not one of the better movies I've seen. I agree with the other reviewer it could have been a lot better with the excellent cast, but somewhere the story sinks.
