Frozen

I visit this film very often.

Frozen talks about the attachment towards one’s home in the harshest of conditions. Also the conflict between simplicity and modernity.

If not for anything else, watch the film for its cinematography. Jaw-droppingly spectacular!

In Between Days

Being a sucker of Korean movies, I try and watch as many as possible.

It is about the story of a Korean immigrant teenager, who has fallen in love with her best and only friend. She tries to express her feelings for him but is scared of losing their friendship. Meanwhile, her friend falls for an Americanized Korean girl.

Most Korean films do not have strong storyline. What makes them special are their treatment. Add to that perfectly nuanced performances.

In Between Days is a personal, intimate film about loneliness and displacement. Highly Recommended!

Also lookout for the director, So Yong Kim’s other film called Treeless Mountain. Superb!
