I just thought it was mostly boring with a tacked on violent ending to relieve the preceding two hours of tedium. With crashingly Uninteresting characters all around in an achingly Uninteresting picture.
But maybe I was being too critical because I was basing my lack of interest on my direct experience with Koreans having spent a good portion of seven years in Seoul where the picture was filmed.
Among far far far far far Better foreign language pictures were at least 2:
-- that weren't even nominated!
From Germany.
SYSTEM CRASHER, About a very wayward uncontrollable female child in Germany
with a Best Actress worthy performance by a nine year old actress ...
and
AN OFFICER AND A SPY. Polanski's masterful reconsideration of the Dreyfuss affair, in France.
This kind of appalling ignorance of international cinema only to be expected from the Geritol fueled Academy Award selectors.
