plot---
This is a story of a married couple, Sophie Lee and Andrew Lee, who seem to have anything a couple would want except for a child. Sophie is desperately trying to fit in his Korean family, doing everything that will make them happy especially Andrew. She would do anything to get herself pregnant...and this is where she meets Jinha Kim, a Korean, who is ilegally overstaying in America. A wonderful love story that can be squeezed in a one hour and forty-three minutes film.

Kudos to Gina Kim for writing and directing this film and to the lead actress and actor that made this movie worth my while. I can feel how Jinha loved Sophie and the torment they must have felt for having experienced the right and perfect love at the wrong time. I am not exactly sure how their love became as deep as theirs were but for me that short moment of mutually understanding each other made way for their love to start.

The only thing that would have made me very, very happy is too see Jinha at the ending....

I hope i am not the only one who fell in love with this film.

US Release of Gina KIM’s Never Forever



South Korean director Gina KIM’s third feature, the New York set Never Forever (2007), will receive a limited release in select cities across the US this Spring. The US-Korean co-production had its world premiere in the competition section of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. After a release in Korea last June and various festival appearances, the film won the Jury Prize at the 33rd Deauville American Film Festival in France.

The film continues KIM's exploration of the issues of woman's relationship to her own body and bodily desires as laid out in her previous feature Invisible Light (2003). Never Forever tells the story of an upper class Caucasian woman living in New York (played by Vera Farmiga) who is unable to conceive a child with her Korean-American husband. As her husband (played by Korean-American actor David McInnis) grows increasingly despondent she attempts to get pregnant by paying a young illegal immigrant from Korea (played by HA Jung-woo) to have sex with her.

The film is to be released first in New York and San Francisco on April 11th with release dates in several other cities to follow. Director Marin Scorsese praised the film, acclaiming it “A moving experience! The performances are wonderful and touching and the style is intense and very precise.” For details of release dates and locations see below.
