Yay for Korean films!

Yay for Korean films - they're so good. The library at my university has heaps of Korean films displayed, so i feel like i'm taking an extra subject in 'Korean Cinema.'

I reckon the best so far is 'Driving with my wife's lover' about a man who knows his wife is having an affair with a cab driver, so gets in his cab and goes on a long distance drive. Meanwhile a truckload of watermelons tumble down the road, and they go for a swim, and have other adventures.

At the moment i'm watching a film called 'Barking dogs never bite' about a man in an apartment who is annoyed by a dog constantly barking, so he finds the dog and tries to kill it in various ways, but doesn't have the guts so he just locks it in a cupboard and leaves it. It's meant to be a comedy, but so far it's a little disturbing. Will let you know what happens........

I flew with Korean Air a couple of years ago and I agree, Korean movies are amazing. On the plane I watched a movie called "Sad Movie" and it had a number of storylines, some of which were sad, but some were really cute and all the way through I was thinking, well, this can't end badly, she's had so much bad luck! and they ALL ended really really badly- it was ridiculously sad. I should have known, really.
