Umimachi Diary (2015)
Underlying Magic and Comfort in Unfamiliarity
Simply one of Kore-eda's sublime works. The film dives into family ties and complexities, its exceptions and compensations, to its fulfillment. A refreshing slow-paced film that will take viewers to a familiar experience found in strangers' story.
Yunhui-ege (2019)
Beatifully Paced Storytelling
Director Im Dae-Hyung skillfully crafted this visual vignette of a woman haunted by time and regret and revisiting her pieces of the past to her journey of acceptance.
Although labeled as "romance", it is not the raison d'être of this film, but the plot does root from unresolved love that will aid them to their present self. I truly believe that this film is a sincere ode to freeing one's self of things that could have been but did not.
Characters were beautifully written and told. They were carefully separated with their own story then, collaborated in quite a climactic fashion and I would not have wanted it any other way.
Its screenplay stood out the most for me as it was neither vague nor shallow, and presented the story and its characters' sentiments with justice.
This film is a hidden gem, underrated perhaps. Slow but definitely not one to bore.
