Little Forest

Such a peaceful, gentle and relaxing movie. Probably one of the best slice of life movies ever made. The beautiful sceneries of North Gyeongsang and the mouth watering food recipes will definitely make you fall in love with this movie and.

The original Japanese one is amazing, I can't bear the idea of the Korean saccharine take on this story, this Is so unnecessary and bordering on criminal. I discovered the original 2 films several years ago and they had a profound and haunting effect on me, it was almost impossible to find any info because they were so unknown and now if I do a search the remake comes up first. Tragic. A beige copy with the usual bland K- Pop looking characters, Jesus wept. WATCH THE ORGINAL People!

This film has two sparkling stars. #1. The irridescent Kim Tae-Ri and #2. The rich harvests of the Korean countryside. One provides solace, comfort and inspiration for the other as she hibernates back into the cocoon of her childhood to salve the wounds collected from living too long in the big city. Slowly she mends, nourished from home grown vegetables all garnished with herbs and roots foraged from her own local Little Forest. And in due course she emerges from her cocoon having found herself. As always in cases of redemption, you realise that it was always there, hiding in plain sight. This is a simple yet beautiful movie, as much about the power of friendships as anything else. It is lovingly observed, constructed and crafted. The setting is gorgeous as is the female star. Its a feast for the eyes and will provoke phantom aromas as the camera gazes lovingly at earthy forest floors followed by exquisite cooking sequences. Don't watch this when hungry.

A life in a country side is very simple and relaxing. Way of Korean cooking from organic plants. 4 types of cooking foods in 4 different seasons 👍 Cinematic scenes of country side 👍 Way of cooking 👍 Way of farming
