A quick post to recommend a gem of a movie... It's called "A Bittersweet Life"... Unique poetic/violent gangster film... 2005, from Korea. I envy those who haven't seen it yet, because they still can watch it with fresh perspective... I've watched it a hundred times at least, and I'm still impressed every time I do!

@arkaeriit: Glad you enjoyed it! That escape scene, where our hero wrecks havoc on the group of thugs in the warehouse... WOW! Comme il me semble que tu es francophone, je vais continuer en français: C'est vrai qu'il est filmé avec soin... J'ai particulièrement aimé le plan large pris juste à l'arrière de la voiture, dans la séquence de l'évasion quand Sun-Woo utilise la force centrifuge pour "éjecter" un des malfrats. Très inventif! Et l'histoire a beau tenir sur un post-it, elle n'en est pas moins très touchante comme tu dis... C'est une épure: Simple et efficace! Bref... Content que tu aies aimé! :) · 1 week ago
@nono I watched it and loved it. It is very skillfully filmed. The story is quite touching. The film is indeed very violent, but that help creating the sense of inevitable doom of the story. · 1 week ago
@arkaeriit: Also, it would be nice to hear your opinion, once you've watched it! :) · 2 weeks ago
@arkaeriit: You're welcome... Enjoy! But be aware: There are some pretty intense moments, visually speaking... I think it's OK to watch it in a family setting, as long as there are no small children around... · 2 weeks ago
Thanks for the recommendation. It looks very nice. I will watch it with my family as my mom enjoyed some other works of the main actor. · 2 weeks ago
