Popular film from one of the most talented veterans of South Korean cinema
As a perennial crowd puller, South Korean cinema is absolutely mind boggling. This is true because no two Korean film are similar. This implies that Korean filmmakers still continue to have countless wonderful albeit ordinary day to day stories up their sleeves which they transform into charming films at regular intervals. Bongja, directed by an experienced Korean helmer Park Chul Soo is one such film. In this film as the credits roll and images make their appearance viewers can easily perceive that it is a film made on HDVD format later blown on a 35 mm print. This is just a small technical observation. The real icing on the cake comes in form of an off the wall performance by the title character of this film. She is an ordinary young woman leading a difficult life as she is troubled by the absence of a soul mate. Her life takes unexpected turns when she comes across a funny duo : an idiotic policeman and a rakish girl. PS: should you like this film, start collecting all of Park Chul Soo's DVDs.
For the sushi.
When watching movies for the IMDb Classic Film board (RIP!) poll for the best films of 2000,this was the title that I saved for a future second viewing. At first planning a "new" viewing,I decided that it was time to pick up the sushi roll once again. The plot: Working in a sushi bar, Park Bong-ja has become the most popular chef in town. Feeling that Bong-Ja is getting behind on things,the owner gives her the sack. Returning home expecting to drown her sorrows in rice wine,Bong-Ja is met by an unexpected flatmate. View on the film: Following Bong-ja's skillful sushi making,director Cheol-su Park & cinematographer Dong-kwan Cho use the HDDVD format for a fuzzy, hazy dream atmosphere,where Bong-Ja's time in the bar is shown in a crisp clarity which dries up into dry reds and yellows once she returns to the flat. Covering the stove with a mix of primal scream therapy and murder,the screenplay by Jeon-han Kim never combines it into a full meal. Giving only Bong-Ja and a cop character names,Kim sadly keeps everything vague,with the relationship between Bong-Ja and her flatmate offering the psychological anxiety which should be getting served on a plate with Bong-Ja's sushi
