See Charming Girl first, then this.

Warning: Spoilers
If your idea of a climax is ten minutes of watching someone cook pasta, this is the movie for you. If you like Daft Punk's Electrosoma more than anything, you're in luck. I bought this film because of Lim Su-jung. I'll probably follow her to end of time because of films like … Ing, Tale Of Two Sisters and I'm A Cyborg, But That's Okay, but this film's pace could be made fun of by snail. If Lee Yoon-ki was attempting to make the most boring film ever, he simply failed because he dropped a kitten right at the hour mark. I had my heart set on an M. Night Shyamlan twist. Maybe they stay together and it's magically not raining any more. The rain wanted them to stay together. I guess that was too happy and obvious. The house is the most exciting character. It's amazing. I think I'd be pretty happy in that house even if someone was leaving me. Even if Lim Su-jung was leaving me. Get out and take your frizzy hair with you (sorry about that). The film was based on Inoue Areno's short story, A Cat That Cannot Return. The packaging is a glossy digipak with an elastic. Inside there are postcards and a stationary pad which fell out instantly. Not that I would use it. Maybe near the end of time. I'll write a note to Lee Yoon-ki: I love This Charming Girl, wasn't there a cat in that one too? Anyway, you've shown us you can make long shots, next time check out what an editor can do. He or she will cut out huge chunks of people sitting in chairs silently and people chopping onions. At least you made it to the 61st annual Berlin International Film Festival, in competition. Though it sounds like you wished to not win any awards. I like that actually. Remind me to see Dear Enemy sometime.
