Featured reviews
You might expect that this movie, like all the other common consumer movies, that would be like stereotypical features, but that's not the case.
Always the audience makes a general definition of the melodrama genre in his mentality, and in front of his default, he is directed to a film that is not far from its presuppositions.
But the creation of a romantic film that can literally deal with the petitions of an emotional relationship is praiseworthy.
Joining and separating two verbs is an inseparable part of relationship in the cinema, but setting to these two is not attractive alone.
Romance movie needs some kind of subject writing. In this context, it is a more successful film that set to detail.
I saw a good spring day movie on a good spring day, the first day of the spring of 2018.
Without exaggeration, the other romantic films I had seen, was in far space.
The culmination of the story is a fascinating reminder of a collapsing and annihilating relationship in which both conflict different behaviors in spite of their psychological and internal reaction, despite the emotion they are involved with.
The point to be considered here is that the problem that originally causes conflict and heterogeneity in their relationship is precisely where the one is willing to agree, and the other does not want to, and this position is changing.
Eventually, in the end of our film, we face an approach that is not happy end at all and confirm the signature of the modern structure of the film.
This movie should be seen because of its state of affairs and suitable for today.
A friend once told me that the only thing you can never possess forever is love. If you saw this film, you would vaguely be aware of the idea.but i think the film should be shortened to less than 100 minutes. There are quite a few plots that would make you sleepy all the times. Also, the natural scenes in the film certainly defy my description and it was a pity that the director had not focused attention enough on these things.
This isn't a film about plot, so I'll concentrate on describing the main characters. Sang-Woo is a single sound engineer living with his family. Eun-su is a radio show host who lives about 4 hours away, by herself in a small, somewhat messy apartment. They meet to record the sound of wind in a bamboo forest for her radio show, and a relationship develops between them. The film observes them over the course of the changing seasons in Korea, starting in the Spring both in terms of the calendar and their relationship.
The pace is deliberate, and the characters don't really change much, but the film is beautiful and, not surprisingly, lovely to listen to, and it's definitely worth seeing. I think that the male lead (Ji-tae Yu) is particularly good in his role. My understanding is that the film won the top prize at Korea's equivalent to the Academy Awards.
I saw this at the San Francisco International Film Festival on 4/21/2002, where an earlier showing was the U.S. premiere. The director was present to answer questions, through an interpreter, and one of his responses indicated that viewers who are more experienced in love tend to identify with the female lead, while those less experienced see themselves in the male character.

Although I didn't like April Snow, I have to admit that I got curious about it's clinical, meditative, and almost Ozu-like approach to start searching out its director's previous films. One Fine Spring Day is Hur Jin-Ho's second feature film. Surprisingly though, the film feels like it's been crafted by a master who's been making films for decades. One Fine Spring Day evokes a certain sense of maturity and control that deflects the low points of its spare plot. Sang-woo (Yu Ji-tae) is a sound engineer who lives with his father and his senile grandmother. He gets a job to record certain sounds of nature with beautiful radio DJ Eun-su (Lee Young-ae). Sang-woo, who seems to be an extrovert and Eun-su, who is more outgoing and openminded, get along very well and start a relationship. Their relationship, however, is not the type that would last forever as both characters are very different and both have issues that need to be resolved. Those seeking something that will provide for a fuzzy joyous romantic feeling would easily get disappointed with One Fine Spring Day. One Fine Spring Day, despite its rather light atmosphere, holds a bittersweet conclusion that feels all too real for comfort. It matches the joys of falling in love with the pangs of an unexplained break up. The beauty of the film doesn't emanate from the plot, or the characterizations, or even the technical merits, but from Hur's surehanded direction that never seems to stray from its melancholic tone. Hur doesn't waste time in dealing with heartwarming moments or scenes of melodramatic intensity. He satisfies himself with sincere moments of silence that somehow evoke great emotional weight. One Fine Spring Day is a lovely film. I loved the fact that it never breaks into serious drama or comedy. It stays right there, comfortable in the middle, chronicling in a very sure manner the failing relationship of the couple. It's very different from April Snow which I thought tried too hard to build up its setup with a more ominous atmosphere that bogs down whatever talent and effort Hur and the rest of his crew put in entirely.

This is another very quiet film by Hur about the relationship between two people. Like "Christmas in August" the direction is such that excessive dialogue is unnecessary. We know what the two people involved are thinking at all times through their eyes, the way the look (or don't look) at each other.
It's a story that anyone who has had any experience in love will immediately recognize and get that "I have been there" feeling. The film doesn't sympathize with one person or the other but you probably will empathize with one of them based on your own experiences in love and loss. Two people fall in love, one of them falls out of love (or does she?), is anyone to blame?
