Avis à la une
Getting tired of city life, she come back to country side to avoid her problems. This movie gets you trapped in story telling. The problems of single mother and her sacrifices which her daughter is unable to understand when she leaves her just before graduation. Problems understanding each others life perspective, dating issues, city life vs country side life. This compares many life phenomenon, memories with farming amd cooking. How unable to express ones feeling makes things complicated and its all about finding your own 'little forest' to spend the entire life around it. Finding peace with yourself and the job you are doing. Will she solve her problems and calm her mind? The ending is open but clear.
'Little Forest' (2018) was recommended by a film-buff friend just a few days back. Let me first say, I've been watching too many Korean films this year and have become addicted to them (consuming all kinds with relish - from 'Parasite' and 'Burning' to 'The Wailing' and 'Grass') and I searched for the synopsis/summary first. As I began watching thereafter, I realized that the so-called synopsis/summary did not do justice to its brilliance. 'Little Forest' is one of the best and one of the most beautiful films I have seen this year. So, without reading much about the film or its plot, just delve into it. It's worth experiencing. Especially in these trying times, as people all over the world have been struggling, this is a film that heals.
After watching this film, I saw the life that should be. Simple and feels warm, a very beautiful film that deserves to be watched repeatedly. Little Forest makes me want to immediately retire from the city and start living in the countryside someday.
Kim Tae-ri has mostly done dramatic, ensemble films in her short but extremely promising career. Here she is the dominant character in a slice of life, and she carries it beautifully. There is not twists or turns, just a normal young woman dealing with growing up, and you stay completely engaged in her story thanks to Tae-ri's performance.
The supporting cast, Ryu Jun-yeol and Jin Ki-joo, playing childhood friends are wonderful as well. Ryu isn't the typical looks for a young Korean actor and all the better, he's actually charming.
Food is a supporting character in of itself, of course. Farming and cooking are centering, the work is worth the reward.
And if you wonder what happens at the end, note, she knows what he told the other woman ;)

This was such a wonderful surprise - I absolutely want to learn Korean to view in native language - - I can not say enough about the filming, music, minimal production, screen writing and or directing - I did not know the story before but the symbology (ism), metaphors, or cinematic equivalents are very well delivered - might be dismissed by others as trite and done before especially with food as the story teller - but this was so refreshing - -
