-Outrageous ■ ■ ■ ■ that even in difficult periods of life is always a small ray of hope that can draw one hope.
Already in the past few years, Lee Yoon-ki's "quiet" masterpieces at the Berlinale, but to look in the "Forum". This time he does so for the first time with a film in competition and in this film, he does free according to his motto "
show less and less, until life itself comes to light"
the pictures speak.
A young couple is on the way to the airport of Soel because the woman a business trip to Tokyo compete. is left in the car so far restrained woman but her husband announces that she, if she comes back. He seems to react to it hardly questioned just a bit and shows no trace of excitement. A few days later the woman returns and begins to pack their belongings in suitcases, while she is constantly confronted with the past of their young relationship. plays this scene the entire movie in the home of the couple for 3 years lived. Now, breaking the last common evening.
Meanwhile, a violent thunderstorm passes over the city and the crackling Rain as Yoon-ki Lee says the soundtrack of the film, which varies depending on the strength of her emotional state of the two characters. Both seem to have accepted the situation and therefore they walk almost silently through her house to go without many words.
When the rain is worse, they discover a little cat on her patio. Quickly the man they tried to capture and reinzuholen, but that it hurts, and at that very moment, the depressed mood breaks for a moment. The woman holds the hand of her estranged husband, while their two remaining feelings are aware and helplessness is reflected in her eyes.
little later it knocks on the door: they are the neighbors in search of her little cat that has been hidden somewhere in the house. For the pair, it might well have no ungelegeneren guests, because the neighbor wahrlos runs through the apartment and her husband constantly talks to himself. The silence is broken and the building stretch in this moment calls, ultimately, the lover of the young woman for whom she wants to leave her husband. But she hesitates. At last the neighbors leave the house and the woman asks the man one last time to cook pasta. When the man cut the onions He begins to cry, go to the bathroom to wash the eyes, but he can not stop. This leaves the question arise whether it really were the onions that made him cry, or whether it is finally out of that breaks out, who has been all about playing with the utmost hospitality.
At the same time there is the small cat out of its hiding place and the woman takes her gently up, she caresses and whispers a shallow "Everything will be fine" and reveals her face that she was no longer safe. Maybe it comforts even she herself, for when rain comes, also comes sunshine.
Yoon-ki Lee drives the minimalism in his relationship drama on the high point, for even the facial expressions and gestures of the actors is reduced to a minimum and for the audience some hard transparent. Both actors gave at the press conference also admitted that they had been faced with one of its biggest challenges. So said the actress Lim Soo-jung, it would have been easier simply "loszuweinen" only, or to cry. Nevertheless, building towards the end on an unexpected voltage, which can also be justified in retrospect to understand or difficult. The film will not light fare for the audience would already suspected that the director in advance: It is certainly not a 'popular' film in that sense. I certainly hope that he still finds many viewers. But it is difficult to foresee the reaction of the audience. "
In its category, the Korean movies is that remarkable for us anyway, and on par with those of the Korean director Kim Ki-Duk size. We also confirm the finding by the director himself, that certainly does not address any of that film, because it applies to a small plot period limited and little interaction. It can consider parallels to other Berlinale films such as "
Un mundo misterioso" or "breath" are
