Late Autumn

I am a very big fan of korean drama, but here in this film,there are TOO many slow scenes , i was waiting for any climax or happy moments.. just nothing.

It suprise me they way they found each other in their hardest time of their life but with honest and pure heart they accepted each other. The fact life has dull and not bright colour...they met in halfway.... This movie has the right colour tone to bring the emotion. I enjoyed the process of Anna and Hoon being closer each time..love it.

If you are looking for one of those happy and feel-good movies, then this one is not for you. However, if you are up for a different experience, knowing it might not end well(who knows!), then you are in for a beautiful ride. Its a simple story. No complications there. Its just the chemistry between the lead guy and the girl is precious. It just goes on to prove that all you need are few dedicated minutes with a person to know if you like them. And sometimes, it helps not to look too far down in the future. Live today - for all you have. The movie is a treat if you want to watch a relaxing movie on a lazy Saturday night. I loved it!

Tang Wei immediately became one of my favourite actresses with 'Late Autumn'. I'd previously seen her in the stylishly slowcore 'Long Days Journey into Night', but this simple movie captivated me. It's an unconventional romance set over two days, shot in the USA but in English, Chinese and a smidgeon of Korean. On the first day, Tang is given a pass to leave prison after having been there for 7 years for murder. She's to attend her mother's funeral in Seattle. Her bottled up emotions are challenged by an irritating dandy who proves he's more than that. It's a beautiful story, and I admire directors who don't aim for generic success that they're obviously capable of obtaining. I also appreciated the way the credits were shown at the end.

What a strange but engrossing movie. In English Korean and Chinese. Set in Seattle the story is a about a woman in prison for killing her abusive husband when out on release for a funeral she meets a gigolo and they bond. An unusual romance ensues with a good scene after the funeral. It's interesting to see Hyun Bin as a rascally character. Tang Wei acts a bit too sullen and sometimes the dialogue is strained and out of place. Still worth a watch.
