The Host / Gwoemul / Korea / 2006

I was really looking forward to this one, the reviews have been across-the-board outstanding. In the end it was a bit of a disappointment- perhaps a lot got lost in translation, but once the incredible first attack sequence was over I found my interest waning rapidly. I’m not entirely sure the plot made sense (perhaps it was never supposed to), the characters were great but sort of random, and the bleak ending was just weird. I’m sure someone will accuse me of failing to ‘get’ Korean cinema, but surely a good story is universal. This, I’m pretty sure, wasn’t one.
