Not One Less (Yi ge dou bu neng shao) 2000,  G)
Not One Less (Yi ge dou bu neng shao)
The casting of the lead actress is brillient as she is totally convincing in the role. A hard struggle story with a happy ending. It makes one feel totally humble at the determination of those that don't give up even face faced with seemngly imposible odds. I feel that I can learn from this and would like to take something from the film with me...always.

Baramnan gajok (A Good Lawyer's Wife) 2003,  Unrated)
Baramnan gajok (A Good Lawyer's Wife)
This was the first Korean film that i saw and I must say that it completely surprised me with its quality, depth and subject. An exploration of a dysfunctional family and its members which doesn't shy away from asking many difficult questions. Moon So Ri is an outstanding actress.
This flim is brutally frank in its approach and hits you staright on.
The subject matter is not dissimilar to American Beauty, but any similarity ends there. This is far darker, far funny, harder hitting and far racier that any thing I had seen before. It has left a deep lasting imnpression and introduced me to a new world ...Korean film.
32
Gwiyeowo (So Cute) 2004,  Unrated)
Gwiyeowo (So Cute)
one of the strangest yarns I have heard or seen, wonderfully told with such realistic and colourful characters that it all seems believable real....a fantasy palyed out in extraordinary circumstances that makes feel that it is all perfectly natural.
33
Git (Feathers in the Wind) 2004,  Unrated)
Git (Feathers in the Wind)
A charming little film with a simple premise that is deceptively understated in its execution. I love the opening to this film with the lady dancing at the sea's edge.
34
