Korean:subtitles
This move received rave reviews from Rotton Tomatoes. It was a disaster.
Slow moving with no real plot. Almost 2 and one half hours of pain. It may have been written to expose the use of religion to solve people's emotional problem in current day Korea. I don't know about their current culture so I can't be sure if that was the thrust of the film
From Rotton Tomatoes: In this somber Korean drama, a young mother and widow, Shin-ae, moves with her young son, Jun, from Seoul to a small town called Miryang following her husband's death. Having given up on her career as a concert pianist when she married her husband, she starts up a piano school, but soon it begins to feel like the polite people who inhabit her new home aren't as friendly as they seem on the surface. Judgmental whispers and disapproving gossip begin to reach Shin-ae's ears, and pressure to jointhe Christian cult that thrives in the town begins to mount. She's hesitant until an unimaginable tragedy alters her life forever, setting Shin-ae on a dark path of withdrawal from society as a whole. ~
