Poetry

I thought Poetry was going to play out like a crime mystery flick what with that intriguing opening scene. Boy, was I way off! I guess I came to expect that given the South Korean films I've seen. Poetry is unlike any other, it's a very quiet and graceful movie - stunning shots from start to finish. I'm not a huge fan of "old people" movies but Lee Chang-dong instilled Mi-ja's character with purpose and dignity. There was absolutely nothing I can complain about. Greatly concluded, there's not much to say and to put it in the simplest of terms, Poetry is a beautiful, moving movie.
