I'm not going to talk too much, because don't need to... 6.3 IMDB for this movie is very unfair, because situation is almost perfectly described and every single act or moment is making it's job (kitten, neighbors, rain, sun, TV, food and etc.). so if this situation is familiar for you, you gonna find that description is very close and almost perfect. so for me it's really good worked movie.
... View MoreAn architect (Hyun Bin) is driving his woman (Su-jeong Lim), who is a publisher, to the airport and he tells that he intends to move to her house and his office in her basement to save money; however, she tells that she will leave him since she has met another man.They are surprised by a storm and they stay trapped in her apartment. They find a cat in a hole in front of the apartment and the man rescues the animal. Soon their neighbors arrive in the apartment seeking for the cat, but the animal is hidden. Meanwhile they prepare dinner together."Saranghanda, Saranghaji Anneunda", a.k.a. "Come Rain, Come Shine", is a boring and inconclusive Korean movie about the process of separation of a young couple without kids. The movie is developed in extremely slow pace and does not have soundtrack and goes nowhere, despite the great interpretations of the lead couple. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): Not Available.
... View MoreIf your idea of a climax is ten minutes of watching someone cook pasta, this is the movie for you. If you like Daft Punk's Electrosoma more than anything, you're in luck. I bought this film because of Lim Su-jung. I'll probably follow her to end of time because of films like Ing, Tale Of Two Sisters and I'm A Cyborg, But That's Okay, but this film's pace could be made fun of by snail. If Lee Yoon-ki was attempting to make the most boring film ever, he simply failed because he dropped a kitten right at the hour mark. I had my heart set on an M. Night Shyamlan twist. Maybe they stay together and it's magically not raining any more. The rain wanted them to stay together. I guess that was too happy and obvious. The house is the most exciting character. It's amazing. I think I'd be pretty happy in that house even if someone was leaving me. Even if Lim Su-jung was leaving me. Get out and take your frizzy hair with you (sorry about that). The film was based on Inoue Areno's short story, A Cat That Cannot Return. The packaging is a glossy digipak with an elastic. Inside there are postcards and a stationary pad which fell out instantly. Not that I would use it. Maybe near the end of time. I'll write a note to Lee Yoon-ki: I love This Charming Girl, wasn't there a cat in that one too? Anyway, you've shown us you can make long shots, next time check out what an editor can do. He or she will cut out huge chunks of people sitting in chairs silently and people chopping onions. At least you made it to the 61st annual Berlin International Film Festival, in competition. Though it sounds like you wished to not win any awards. I like that actually. Remind me to see Dear Enemy sometime.
... View MoreAs the other reviewer also has stated, this is a very toned down movie. There are no big emotions to be found here. It seems people are holding back what they are feeling. Which makes for a very appealing and compelling (strangely enough) viewing experience. Shot in a very still manner, it almost feels like it doesn't move forward at all sometimes. But you know it does.I don't know if I am not a bit biased, because I do have a soft spot for Korean cinema anyway (though I do have some quarrels with a few movies), but I really liked this one. The performances match the narrative and the subtle nuances are there to be found. Not to mention that you can interpret a few things into the movie and it doesn't offer any real easy solutions (which again, I kinda like about it)
