You Are My Sunshine / Neoneun nae unmyeong / South Korea / 2005

Having never seen Pretty Woman, I’m hesitant to make comparisons between Garry Marshall’s take on client-hooker love and Park Jin-pyo’s. Nonetheless, You Are My Sunshine seems to borrow heavily from American films, most notably in the monotonous, banal storyline and incessant use of variances of the title theme. Though the acting is superb, almost transcendent, the actors seemed dragged down by an overworked social message. But the director, who rose to notoriety in 2002 with Too Young to Die, his explicit examination of elderly love, has the right idea. Now if he could only forget about the billion-dollar industry across the ocean and return to what makes foreign films so great.
