korean film
 

so i started watching a few korean films recently and only one was shit, which is a pretty good ratio, so im getting very interested in korean film.

gimme some korean titles to check out.

here are the ones i watched recently.

take care of my cat
cant live without robbery
i wish i had a wife
the harmonium in my memory
rewind
peppermint candy
legend of seven cutter
please teach me english (this one was the shit one)
sympathy for me vengeance
(obviously) oldboy (if youve seen just 1 korean film, this is probly it)

Real Fiction
Public Enemy
R-Point

They are all amongst my favourites. My experience of Korean film is still a little limited, but from what I've seen I've been extremely impressed indeed.

They seem to slap each other over the head a lot in Korean films, don't they?

I watched one in my high school Geography class, but I can't remember what the title was at all, possibly could be one of the ones you've mentioned.

I read an article the other day about the Pyongyang Film Festival in North Korea, strange stuff.

lady vengeance,so you'll finish the trilogy.

Any Kim Ki Duk film is worth a watch from the ones I have seen so far. I enjoyed The Isle and Spring, Summer, Autum, Winter.... and Spring immensely

Yeah, I haven't yet seen the latter, but The Isle is wonderful, 3-Iron didn't leave me disappointed either.

Also, has anyone seen Oldboy? That's korean film I think... It's quite enjoyable.

EDIT: Oh, my blind eys didn't spot it in the first message.

i dont remember any korean films, though i might have seen some. no, maybe i was looking for the korean dogme95 film but without luck. wait, there was this one about this zen dude... beautifully shot, super quiet, mostly nature & shit. anyone knows the name?

oh i gotta go....

haha
they do indeed. i wonder if they actualy do hit each other quite as much in real life as they do in the films.
my friend just got back from seoul, so ill ask her when i see her.

i watched the harmonium in my memory tonight, it was very very nice.
nothing much happens that i could mention, but alot of the best films are like that. more a warm feeling than an action packed film.

Please do, I'm very interested to know. It's so frequent in the films, one gets the impression that it's the standard Korean way of asserting even the most trivial of authority.

"Shiri" is a great Koren film. Yun-Jin Kim who plays Sun on "Lost" is in the film, I reccomend it.
