July 32nd - Korean

It’s a grey story of how love turns into shattered dreams, relationship between the father and his daughter. The  killer Man Su is a father of a beautiful girl Rosie, one day Rosie insists Man Su to take with him to work, of course the killer’ work in to kill, in this act he is surprised by the police and he is forced to leave Rosie with a prostitute. He tells Rosie that he will be back tomorrow to take her, the calendar reads July 31st, Rosie asks “so you will come on July 32nd?”



There is no July 32nd, so neither the father returns, what happens to the girl and Man Su is the rest of the story. As usual the Korean movie tells the tale in a way that we can’t even imagine and brutal ways of telling the truth as it happens in the daily life, like the final scene of revenge on Rosie.

The background score and the cinematography are well-ordered, so is the song that’s played in the beginning and the end. Characters don’t go over-board, the director plays them in a circle as he likes and they fit in the role to T. The film starts at the same place and where it ends in the same place with the same song. All is not well, it ends in grey scale which never goes off line and remotely happy.
