A young woman who believes she's a cyborg hears voices and harms herself while at work making radios. She's hospitalized in a mental institution where she eats nothing and talks to inanimate objects. She's Young-goon, granddaughter of a woman who thought she was a mouse and a mother who's a butcher. Young-goon comes to the attention of Il-sun, a ping-pong playing patient at the institution who makes it his goal to get her to eat.
I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK must be one of Park Chan-wook's (Thirst, Oldboy) more unusual films, with a cast of institutionalized crazies. The mental hospital is full of colorful and nutty personalities, delivering a lot of comic relief. Regardless of what you may gain from the plot, Park Chan-wook has done an excellent job with the screenplay and blending a romantic drama with a surreal and quirky comedy-twist. An odd and sweet film with plenty of humor.
Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance
