Berlin Filmfest gave its highest honor to a self-absorved work without any originality that is the exact reality of nowadays arthouse.

The truth is the directors of Korea know the interests of the festival prety much. Black and white style, being weakened plots, larges of details can't be rational Inserted in the traditional narrative. All of the elements make the work looks like an winner style.

Actually, I will say it's a good job which had achieved the target they want. But I also want to say it just be an work there are no charming about film, no charming about real life. The work comes with vacuous imagines.

Hand-hold photography makes shaking imagines, super close-up to faces,"heart eye" style viewpoint surpasses the real viewing distance, so that the feeling flow could be parallel to the reaction lens...the style intention is clear. The story is about a second born mother and ambitious academic woman. Although the subject is a little bit narrow to the audiences, the film is dedicate and female enough. Everything deals me to like it, but there was a sense of arrogance which destoried my feeling. Who comes from developed world imposed their judgements of women's rights and made high demand for women's independence in underdeveloped areas, which suddenly aroused my desire for criticism. Casting would show some secrets: the Queen from The Favourite, the slave girl of fifty shades of Grey, the wife of the First Man. Maggie Gyllenhaal has made her excellent director first show.
