This Charming Girl

Korea

Nice film. We follow a pretty young woman who goes through life's motions...works at a post office, takes in a stray cat, has lunch with co-workers...but seems detached, uninvolved, isolated even though she lives in a crowded urban environment.

It turns out she has a secret and this film reveals it in as understated manner as possible. Very sympathetic character. The actress conveys much with silence...her large, sorrowful eyes hide depths of feeling that only warily surface.

Intelligent, moving filmmaking. Korean film is now a legitimate player in world cinema.
