My best friend and his wife

MIFF. It's back... I'm only seeing 10 films this time around - normally 30-40... I dunno... I just don't have the time anymore. Plus there is a new festival director, and I'm not sure I like his choice of films... Not as much Asian cinema, more European films full of nothing. Oh, and he likes his soft porn films, it would seem... *shudder*

Anyway, first film of the festival was a South Korean film (heh... What a suprise) called "My best friend and his wife". Story around two guys and a girl. Guy 1 loves girl and is married to girl. Girl is pregnant with guy 1's child. Guy 2 is successful in business, guy 1 is a chef. Guy 2 accidentally kills guy 1's child a few days after its born while girl is away for a few days. Guy 1 takes the fall for it. Guy 2 decides its a good oppertunity to get girl.

Sounds like a really messed up arrangement, doesn't it? Korean films are great for this kind of thing, because they tend to be a lot more "in your face" than films from most other places. No punches pulled. You know its going to go badly when girl finds out the truth about what happened. Great film. A reminder of why I enjoy Korean films so much.
