A BITTERSWEET LIFE... or How to Push the Envelope

Kim Jee-woon's "A Bittersweet Life" might come off to some people as a generic crime flick, and in some ways it is. However, there's so much more to talk about, in particular the skillful handle of physical and emotional violence, and that one little detail regarding the "love" that our main character, Sun-woo, might have towards his boss' young mistress... Which I do my best to refute. Anyway, watch South Korean cinema (and "The Last Stand", it's not as bad as it looks, I promise). Subtítulos [CC] en Español disponibles.
