Never Forever

Director: Gina Kim
Rating: 4 stars

This film is yet another retelling of the time tried mistress, or in this case mister, story. What makes this film worth watching however, is the use of slightly unconventional means of telling it. One of the things I admire most about this film and it's director is the cinematography. Even if I had no audio, I would still have been able to follow the story. It also conveys meanings and messages that would have been lost otherwise.
A film professor told me that there is no such thing as a film that promotes no ideology. This film is no exception. However contrary to initial belief it is neither religious nor sexual ideals. Instead this movie raises the arguement of immigration and immigration policies of this country.
This film contains sexual content, however I believe that it was necessary in order to show the fullness of the situations.
The only problem I had with this film was the musical scrore. It was comparable to a car alarm: changing, yet monotonous and repetetive. Although annoying, it proved to be a marker and guide for events in the movie. Otherwise a worthwhile movie.
