#42.Treeless Mountain

Director/Writer
: So Yong Kim
Producers
: Bradley Rust Gray (In Between Days), Ben Howe, Lars Knudsen and Jay Van Hoy (Old Joy)
Distributor: Currently Seeking Distribution

The Gist: Left by her mother in the care of their unsympathetic aunt, 5-year-old Ling must take care of her younger sister as they adjust to a harsher life in the rural countryside of South Korea.

Fact: This was selected for Sundance Institute’s 2006 Directors Lab and was one of 15 selected for the 2007 edition of the Cannes Film Festival’s Atelier de la Cinefondation.

See It: Much of the reason why I'm looking forward to seeing Treeless Mountain is So Yong Kim's debut film In Between Days (2006) won a Special Jury Prize for independent vision at Sundance and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

Release Date/Status?: Currently in post-production, a fall film festival release is foreseeable.

Review: The Kid With a Bike

Review: The Kid With a Bike

"Despite the one-dimensionality of its anti-patriarchal theme (appeasing the knee-jerk expectations of European film fest audiences), the Dardennes avoid cheapening the story with ideological smugness, achieving an emotional resonance without easy sentimentality."

Review: Wrong

"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
