BERLIN - as quiet as a whisper, come rain, lights that come repentant appearance speaks of the poet or the most lovelorn of the loner on the last day of the marriage of the couple only on the most sensitive. Director Lee Yoon-ki's suggestive dialogue, body language and mise-en-scene evoking a "peaceful separation" the unpleasant atmosphere. However risks to clear Lee's conscious decision to the narrative of all drama and experience, bring you to the edge of the banality.

European art-audience of House, used this kind of subtle mood piece of European or Japanese directors, to see, and not just as easily impressed. Hyun binthe most dedicated Fans.Der film the formalist tendencies from the opening sequence, are visible man Korean leading critics may be more grateful, but not as Korean audience except, perhaps, consists of 9 minute continuous moving take, shot on the dashboard of the unnamed protagonist (Hyun bin) drive his wife, young Shin (Lim Soo-Jung), to the airport for your business trip. After some casual conversation tells him of her decision to leave it for someone else. He makes to rethink a lame plea for you, but seems resigned to the situation quickly.On the couple designer cut town house. Young-Shin is already to take off their things packaging. The two coffee drink, sentimental use of utensils and plans, in an unusual joint to food. But your desire to things properly bind are frustrated: a baby kitten gatecrashes home and disappears; Their neighbors are looking for the cat; the torrential rains flood the bridge; and keep cooking to noodles in the end, but credits roll before you have a chance to eat together.Come rain, come shine can as a companion piece, Lee's last film my dear enemy be seen. Both condense the history in a day that unspools like real time. Both focus on the shift but hardly strong feelings of ex-lovers. While my dear enemy liquid weaves photogenic Seoul and a host of interesting characters, this film is definitely more downbeat and stuffy. The two protagonists of introverted stay retired in their memory-filled House, where no contact with the outside world as an intervention is considered.Lee is sent in the cause, the unnatural silence that increases when ex-lovers try, in a civilized way was Verhalten.Das written by a Japanese short story, the cat, that may never come back adjusted by Areno Inoue. It makes for its painful repression, free-standing sound and slowly brewing momentum more film, a close equivalent is Nobuhiro in the Japanese art house Suwa's A perfect Couple.Even seems that the camera to the main characters tiptoe, moving, but nowhere to go. These are static, empty pictures of the Interior and furniture enforces that look like real estate showrooms. The soft light which falls partially on the occupation, improves the ambiguity of their positions. Instead of sound are the incessant rain and Mumbles radio announcements a dark tone Scape.Mit only two actors requires the maintenance of the whole film, which looks more beautiful faces and soulful. Lim and Hyun are good, if make small talk, but you stumble, if required, give to their aversion to part to show neutralized equal restraint. You start only to indicate a source of emotion towards abruptly cut. Until then, it is too late.Venue: International Film Festival Berlin (competition)
