  In which Park Chan-Wook get as close to rom-com territory as he'll ever (at least here's hoping). It's basically your classic love story: you know, ... read more »

  Quirky, sure... But what else?
  
  It is indeed a 'quirky' film in a self conscious way. Unfortunately the imagery fels very dated, even given the context of the pseudo fantasy setting... read more »
