From
the acclaimed director <301, 302>
With a
film as erotically charged and aesthetically adventurous as it is emotionally
truthful, veteran director Park Chul-soo brings us the provocative story of
amour fou between a 32-year-old divorcee and a 19-year-old college student
(who under Korean law is considered a minor until he turns
20).
After being arrested and sentenced to community service for
corrupting a minor, beautiful, enigmatic Moon-hee attempts to ditch handsome
young Hyun. But Hyun refuses to disappear, and the two, magnetically drawn
together, go on the lam, escaping to a hotel room where they rapturously
discover each other through sex that is as raw and intimate as any seen on
screen. As the film progresses, so, too, does their trust in each other and
their confidence in their unorthodox choices. Park brings an extraordinary
intelligence, sensitivity, and spirited lightness to the story of an egalitarian
relationship that continuously defies expectation as the lovers test the
frontiers of sensation, communicate in ineffable ways, and improvise an
unconventional family.
Park shifts
stylistic gears with a humorously theatrical, almost surrealist culminating
scene in which an unlikely group--including Moon-hee's feminist supervisor, her
criminal case investigator, and Hyun's entirely accepting mother--weigh in with
Greek chorus-like opinions on this rare partnership. Full of stylistic surprises
and magical moments, Green
Chair is a celebration of living in the moment and a profound meditation
on maturity and innocence.— Caroline
