Amélie (2001) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): This charming quirky girl
What a charming comedy film “Amélie” is. Constantly buoyed by its vibrant wit, style, and imagination, this quirky French crowd-pleaser, which is re-released in South Korean theaters in this week, is still lovable and admirable for its numerous funny offbeat … Continue reading

Happy Hour (2015) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): 4 Women
Ryūsuke Hamaguchi’s “Happy Hour” is a challenging but ultimately rewarding experience you should give a chance someday. The movie will surely daunt you for its very long running time which is more than 5 hours (!), but it will gradually … Continue reading
My Salinger Year (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Before she becomes a writer
While it is not exactly one of my No.1 favourite books, I understand well why J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” has been a beloved classic novel for many young people out there since it came out in 1951. … Continue reading
Spiritwalker (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A slick and efficient fantasy action flick
South Korean film “Spiritwalker” is a slick and efficient genre piece which handles its familiar genre elements much better than I thought when I came across its trailer in last month. Once it sets the rules around its utterly preposterous … Continue reading
