Spring in My Hometown

English name: Spring in My Hometown.

Set in Korea in the early 1950's, family members find tragedy when a small village boy witnesses his mother having sex with an American soldier.

Korean movies are rarely seen in the USA. I gave this film every chance, however with few exceptions most every shot is overly distant from the actors. The pacing becomes slower as the framing becomes wider.

Kept away at a distance, it is nearly impossible for the viewer to care about the people in the movie.

Spring in My Hometown is highly ranked. The shadowed subtitling was very easy to read. Check it out if you find it, but don't plan on being overly enthralled.
