I have no answers for you reference narratives, but I would appreciate
know the source of your comments and what readings you might recommend
otherwise.
Interestingly, San Diego is having a mini Korean Film Festival this
week including
LIBERA ME
MUSA
A DAY
BUTTERFLY
ART MUSEUM
THE ISLE
I saw LIBERA ME (arsonist drama / action) which had a poor showing
(fire is not a popular topic here in San Diego this month). MUSA is a
14th century epic about delivering a princess to the homeland. Both
have very good production values, and scenes unfamiliar in many
standard Hollywood films. The action and cinematography are good. The
stories are lacking as I think these are a showcase of technical
talents.
