well . i be south korean and now i be stay in sweden . i watch this film with some native swedish student and other exchange student from western part . actually i be wonder that why this korean director be so that famous especially in western country than south korea . it doesn not mean that this director and his film be unnamed in south korea . he be famous a a kind of art film director and and his film be also not that fail but still his name be popular but his film be not that much and i think . i think the reason why he be so that famous in western part of the world be that in a rough way he use the oriental ism .
