Release date: October 2010
A murderer’s last words before execution recall the fabulously
delicious bean paste soup he ate just before his arrest. Intrigued by this report,
a reporter seeks out the soup and begins to learn of the mysterious woman
behind it and of a recipe for fantastic bean paste.
The first third of the film is a quirky comedy, the middle third a series of bittersweet journeys, and the
last third slides into a beautifully filmed but soppy love story. Throughout the whole film, the cinematography and animation was superb. The comedy
sections were immensely enjoyable, done in a very understated comic style. The
changes in pace for the film were odd but still, overall, an enjoyable film.
My take: 4 stars
The wanted criminal enjoys and finishes his bowl
of
bean-paste soup with no awareness of the swat team
bursting in to arrest him …
the soup is that good!
