Love, Lies

Of all human feelings, jealousy is one of the most tangled and unending feelings, because other feelings come into being and develop in a particular time and scope. Sometimes it happens only occasionally.

Absolutely loved this exquisite and beautifully filmed movie set in the dangerous 40s in occupied Korea. Passion jealousy and betrayal combine to male this a mesmerising movie. The songs are haunting. Led by the beautiful Han Hyo Joo the cast is perfect. As if anyone wouldn't choose her!

« Love, Lies » est un excellent film historique disposant d'une histoire originale, d'une intrigue classique et d'un développement remarquable. Le rythme est homogène, le récit est fluide et la narration est linéaire. La photographie proposée par Jo Eun-soo est sublime, le travail de Cho Sang-kyung aux costumes est remarquable, les coiffures présentées par Kim Seo-hee sont admirables. La bande musicale offerte par Lee Byung-hoon (The Battle: Roar to Victory / Hit-and-Run Squad / Fengshui) est impressionnante et le montage orchestré par Lee Sang-beom et Lee Jae-beom débouche sur un film d'une durée de 120 minutes pleinement captivantes. La distribution offre de très bonnes prestations, mais c'est Han Hyo-joo qui livre la meilleure performance. L'ensemble est d'une très grande qualité et mérite amplement une recommandation...

I watched it mainly to see Yeon-Seok Yoo however i must say i got totally enchanted by the historical set up of the movie. It reveals a Korean struggle in the music industry under Japanese occupation. I thought this is a very original idea to add some light to these unusual historical facts. Also the singing was so very exotic and beautiful. Overall it was unexpectedly a very enjoyable experience. Though the love story wasn't that exceptional it was greatly compensated by the set up.

True human emotions Random actions It's aftermath All wonderfully illustrated Her actions are not justifiable but can be understood Her pain can be felt It is so strangely relatable
