Full Title: Grape Candy: A 17-Years-Ago Promise
청포도 사탕:
17년 전의 약속Directed by: Kim Hee-jung / 김희정
Release date: September 2012
Jin-hee, a bank clerk, lives with her fiancé who works for
a publishing company. She is suspicious when a femme fatale novelist shows up
in her fiancé’s life, only to discover that So-ra was her friend in high-school.
Jin-hee is uneasy about this time in her past, as she has lost all memory of
those days. Sora hints at some questions about this shared past, seeming to
involved their mutual friend, Yeo-eun. But what happened to Yeo-eun is also something
Jin-hee can’t remember. Jin-hee and So-ra set off on an uneasy journey together
to negotiate what is hidden in Jin-hee’s memory. Will this destroy Jin-hee … or
re-make her?
A visually sumptuous film; the cinematography is
breathtaking! The filming technique created a monochromatic feeling of claustrophobia,
brooding, and mystery. The story-telling was also flawless.
My take: 5 stars!
So-ra and Jin-hee on their journey
(Park Ji-yoon and Park Jin-hee).
