Review of Poetry (2010) by Jesse O — 21 Jan 2012
A beautifully shot and rendered film, Poetry encapsulates empathy for the other, the joy and the pain involved in truly seeing, and the continued--and maybe even increased--necessity for poetry in the modern world.
Yun Jeong-hee's performance is touching,nuanced, inspiring, and devastating. The film slowly builds to a narrative and emotional crescendo that prompts reflection long after the film ends.
