Green Fish (South Korea, 1997)

Having just been discharged from the military, Mak-dong is on the train home when he finds himself in possession of a pink scarf. From the beginning, Mak-dong is entangled in a relationship that becomes his undoing. Home, Ilsan, is not the same for Mak-dong anymore. The fields and rice paddies have gone, replaced by high rise apartments, and the family has moved on while he has been away. All of his siblings except an invalid brother have left home, struggling to make a living. Mak-dong dreams of a time when the whole family can live together again.

Green Fish is a story about a man who makes the wrong decisions in life. It's a well acted drama with Han Suk-kyu (The Scarlett Letter, The Berlin File) in the lead role, and he plays his part really, really good. Check it out if you want a moody and great film.

Genre: Drama
