honestly very underrated and my favorite of park chan wook's films.
its weird and so expiremental.
the film can be funny, it can be weird, it can be violent and all of that mixes so well together for me.
also love the title.
i really like the characters, there not as 3 dimensional as other characters that are written by wook but there very funny and charming.
loved the part where they we're yodeling lol.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, eccentric romance blooms inside a psychiatric ward where a woman convinced she's a cyborg meets a patient determined to help her feel human. It's a film that treats delusion with gentleness and finds profound connection in the margins.
