Man chu

First of all, if you care about spoilers at all, DO NOT read IMDB's summary for the movie. As short as it is, it gives away nearly everything about the movie.

I watched this movie on YouTube knowing next to nothing about it, so I may not be the best person to review it. The plot is about a very sad and quiet woman who is going on a long train ride to the countryside. She attracts the attention of a rather loud and brash man. Even though she does nothing to encourage him and even seems completely disinterested in him, he won't leave her alone and he even gets off the train to follow her. Of course, as they get to know each other, secrets get revealed.

This is a sad but touching movie, with some nice directorial touches. There are some sudden, jarring cuts where you don't expect them, and the movie sometimes fools you into thinking one thing happens and then you find out that something else did. There is also effective use of sound, especially in the use of silence. The two lead actors are very good. I am not familiar with the actor, but fans of the 2009 Korean movie Mother might enjoy seeing the actress Hye-ja Kim in her first movie (according to IMDB anyway.) My only complaints about the movie is that it is a little slow and the music at times is really annoying, especially the 80s synthesizer tracks.
