Interesting film and perspective. Humor is off beat, more subtle innuendo than in your face but works. Knowing that it came out in 1998 far earlier than other now classic Korean films, TIRED probably has influenced Korean cinema in one way or another by paving the way in a rather great cast way and delivery. The quirky story which is far more typical of Korean cinema was probably not appreciated at the time but I think resonates much more clearly today due to greater exposure to Asian cinema and Korean cinema specifically. I liked the film especially seeing actors such as Jeffrey Wright and Takeshi Kaneshiro who have developed quite the career. It's always nice to chance upon films in Netflix archives that delight!
