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.
