"Woman on the Beach:" Koreans also can do "light" romantic

Posted by tinear on December 12, 2009 at 09:04:46:
bittersweet comedies. What holds this film together is the natural acting and the original (when is the last time you saw this) insights into the eternal man vs. woman wars.
A man and his girlfriend accompany a well-known film director for a stay at the beach where he hopes new ideas will allow him to meet a fast approaching script deadline. Very soon, it becomes apparent the somewhat star-struck woman has her feelings returned by the director and, before a full-tide cycle can complete, they evade the third-wheel. They then return to Seoul but the director, realizing the void, returns to the same barren, off-season beach where loneliness (and perhaps that deadline) leads him to a woman he thinks bears a strong resemblance to the first one.
I know, I know, it's hard to become much interested in such but it's the mood of the film, not so much the "plot" which contains the charm.
Don't think this is a light film, however. It is as intelligent, clever, and wise a treatise on modern love as a piece of fluff such as "Sleepless in Seattle" can but dream of.
