"The Way Home" ("Jibeuro") is an absolutely wonderful neorealistic fable about a spoiled city boy sent to live with his "old world" grandmother in her rustic mountain home. That's it. The premise couldn't be more simple, and the results couldn't be more charming, human and moving. Congratulations to writer/director Jeong-hyang Lee for a remarkable film that stands equal to such other classics of this type as "The Bicycle Thief", "Panther Panchali" and "The Color of Paradise". Bring kleenex.
