Lark Jarvis
writes:
It is the story of a romance between a mildly retarded man and a
young woman with severe cerebral palsy. There is a wonderful,
bravely filmed sex scene in which the young woman asks the man to
have sex with her, and is clearly enjoying it very much. Things
take a tragic (and difficult to watch) turn, though, when her family
discovers the two of them and accuses the man of rape. The film
exposes South Korean family structure and a large degree of
hypocrisy/stigma/hostility toward people with disabilities, and
tells its story poetically and lyrically, without any saccharine. |
