Shin-ae just moved to Milyang, a place her new friend Jong says is just like any other. Self proclaimed new friend I must say, since he pretty much starts stalking her from the minute he meets her. Well, it might be a place like any other, but not for Shin-ae. Because when her little boy goes missing, her life really takes a turn for the worse (again).

I promise you to bring a more light hearted Asian movie next week, but for now I have a movie as or even more dramatic than last week.

I've now seen two movies of director Lee Chang-dong and both are about people with some major trauma. He's a director who must have had some pretty difficult times himself, capturing this troubled people in such an intelligent way.

You can describe this movie as the search for some 'simple' peace. Shin-ae tries being angry, believing in God and just going nuts. And meanwhile, all Jong thinks about is getting into Shin-ae's pants. Which doesn't actually make this as dramatic as I promised. A rather strange, but unique combination.

Saw this movie too? Rate it!
