Oasis

A loving and lovely film.

A brave film in the way it shows two people who find any relationship almost impossible, and yet find a way to make theirs work.

The actors' scenes together are simultaneously abrasive and oddly gentle: two untamable people trying to stabilize each other.

Perhaps the most harrowing screen romance ever.

Lee's humanitarian plea for tolerance is one of the most original films of the decade, and Moon provides the soul.

A love story of two young people marginalized by family and society that becomes a scorching indictment of the indifference, cruelty and hypocrisy of those institutions as the couple inevitably come into profound conflict with them.

Every aspect of this production is outstanding from the performances to the cinematography to the score to the direction.

Lee Chang-dong directs and pens a film that deals with a quite unlikely romance in order to portray in shuttering and occasionally disturbing (and even offensive) realism the circumstances of handicapped individuals.

a touching, if uncomfortable, depiction of conservative Korean society as the danger from which misfits sometimes need protection (rather than the other way round).

a subversive slice of Seoul life that's both funny and heartbreaking
