Release date: November 2010
The gift of a digital movie camera
inspired Kim Ji-wan to quit her high-school teaching job and aim at directing films. She scores an internship in a production company but things do not
run smoothly in this production-line atmosphere. The committee in charge continually
finds fault with all of her ideas and each of her screenplays—first they tell
her her ideas are not commercial enough, then they advise her to find her own
"true colors". Meanwhile at home her son Si-yeong is becoming a rebellious
adolescent and her long-suffering husband Sang-woo is tired of her dead-end
aspirations.
This film is a joyful riff on
the creative impulse. The humor is whimsical, the characters engaging, and the
storyline upbeat but never sappy.
My take: 5 stars!
A species of duet: son (Baek So-myeong) on the
guitar,
mom (Park Hyun-young) on the keyboard.
