A creative piece and a sisister tale, that seems all the more creepy because of it?s fairy tale connection. Having said that it?s not scary or particularly graphic in terms of gore, but the childrens performances manage to pull off an intriguing story and one that?s worth seeing.
Smart and well told fable, with a very dark edge. The film do seems to take too much time to tell the story, and for some reasons kind of repeats itself towards the end. Still solid, a fine example of how you should tell a story involving kids. Korean cinema is certainly not dead...( read more)
The first word I can think of to describe this film is "Gorgeous". Every aspect of every scene. There wasn't a single shot I didn't want to pause on, and every shot would look magnificent hanging on a wall as a painting. The whole film is bathed in a soft gold light that really b...( read more)
