Review of Poetry (2010) by Tor M — 25 Jun 2014
We follow a lady in her sixties and her grandson. She seem to be like most old asian people - glad and caring. Well, things happen and we follow her dealing with her life, participating poetry lessions and coping with her sudden family drama. On top of it all - now diagnozed with alzheimers.
An amazing job by the lead actor.
A gripping and powerful performance. This is a slow burner that never feel dragged out or too long. It's lovely directed and filmed and it's slowly building up to a great finale. A complex film and naturally a very poetic film and I found it very inspiring and beautiful. Human and natural, subtle but still masterful. It would be wrong to say that there are not much going on here, but it can feel that way at times.
I know this one is going to stay with me for a long time. A great Korean flick that shouldn't be missed.
8.5 out of 10 badminton shuttlecocks.
