Woman on the Beach

I saw "Woman on the Beach" as my last film yesterday. I found it enjoyable - laugh out loud funny at many points. Almost worth seeing for the discussion about the perceived unfairness of the reception "unattractive" Korean women get in Europe. But I'm not sure it's going to stick in my mind as a "must see." The film is Korean and I recognize at least the male lead from something. At first I thought it was Host & Guest but now I'm thinking maybe not. I'll have to check imdb when I get a chance. Interestingly enough the main character in last night's movie was a universally impressed "film director" and I believe Host & Guest that lead for a film critic. Seems Korean society has some reverance for folks in film. Though perhaps it's just the part of Korean society that makes films. The director character here leverages his job to goof around and mainly meet girls. What starts out funny ended up leaving me having some pretty negative feelings about the characters ability to say practically anything to end fights brought about by his sleeping around. Which I believe was as intended. I think the flick is actually growing on me more as I write.

Hopefully this review will drive some more traffic from Korean film fans. Since the Host & Guest writeup they've been some of the most avid readers of the site. It's like I'm that guy with the show about the talking car, except not in Germany ;-)

BTW - on that topic KITT got not one but two mentions in "Do Over" yesterday. So Mr. David H's classic has some serious reach.
