Review of No Regret (2006) by Jerome K — 15 May 2008
Graced by some striking camera work, a good script and solid performances, it's worth seeing. Charts the precarious trajectory of an orphan through the harsh realities of the modern city (Seoul) and male prostitution and onto love.
But this fortunately isn't Hollywood - the fragile character of that love, born in prostitution, isn't shied away from. The emphasis on social realism here (class conflict, etc.) is refreshing, and more than makes up for a few unlikely turns in the plot and a melodramatic end.
