An interesting movie about multiple themes such as gried, loss, disenfranchisement with patrioitism. Our male lead, Choi Hyeon, is a Korean who has been living in China as a professor, back in Korea for a funeral and finds himself different. He is totally unsure how to handle himself when faced with seemingly normal south korean customers. The "Century" scene lends credence to how out of the box he is compared to his fellow Koreans. Uncaring about the potential outbreak of war, serious about an impractical life expectency for the North Korean Supreme Leader (which lends credence to the theories that Choi is actually a North Korean spy/defactor). The dealing with loss and pain aspects are done really well. Shin Min-ah as Gong Yun-hee, a tea-house owner that Choi meets while venturing around Gyeongju, puts in a great subtle performance fitting of the independent style film Zhang likes to do. ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
