Release date: July 2012
Mr. Han
is a civil servant in the Mapo district office, working and living in Hong-dae—the
clamorous and glamorous center of nightlife for the youth of Seoul. He prides
himself on his uneventful lifestyle: off to work and back to home again at the
same time every day, never losing his temper with the most unreasonable complaints that come into his office, and evenings
spent enjoying TV at home. His life may be repetitive and dull, but that’s the
way he likes it. One day, this straight-laced public official will meet up a
spirited indie band. The band and the official are repeatedly thrown together,
first testing Han’s temper like never before, and then Han begins to change.
A well-crafted film, from beginning to end, with some nice, edgy, indie camera work. The film is driven by music, wacky humor, and the idea that people can change and that change can be awesome!
My take: 5 stars!
An old dog learns new musical
tricks,
with a little help from his
new friends
(Yoon Je-moon, Seo Hyeon-jeong,
and Seong Joon).
