Click
here to check out the Christmas In August [DVD] It is set in the present day and we get an insight into a section of South Korean life. Jung-won is a shy, fun loving guy going about his daily business, taking and developing photos for his customers. We get to know his personality through his mannerisms as well as his words through subtle but brilliant acting. The way he treats his customers also shows a humbleness and respect.
Da-rim, played by Shim Eun-ha, suddenly appears and immediately brightens up Jung-won’s life. Da-rim works as a local traffic warden in the area and the fear in which local drivers hold for her and her colleagues is humourously shown. After a chance encounter in Jung-won’s shop they form a friendship. Over time, this develops - with some not so subtle hints from her -, into a sweet romance. This relationship is central to the film and it’s a joy to watch it grow.
Christmas in August was first released in South Korea back in 1998 where it swept the Korean Film Awards. Running time: 97 mins, Certificate: 12
