Oasis

directed by Chang-dong Lee
South Korea 2002

Winner of five awards at the 2002 Venice International Film Festival including Best Director for Lee Chang-dong, Oasis is a hard-hitting story about an ex-convict who falls in love with a woman who has cerebral palsy. One of the most acclaimed Korean films of 2002 and a showcase of Korea's top acting and directing talent.

Lee Chang-dong (Green Fish and Peppermint Candy) returns with the same actor and actress he used for his last movie Sol Kyung-gu and Moon so-ri. Moon So-ri picked up the 59th Vienna film festival award for best young actor/actress, the first such award for a Korean movie.

Moon So-ri plays a women with cerebral palsy who is ignored and abused in life until simpleton Sol Kyung-gu comes into her life.

The idea is simple but the execution for a film like this is difficult. Keeping a film like Oasis from being cliché ridden is a mean feat in itself but to turn it into a film as watchable as some of the best Korean romances I've seen is watching a true master at work. You will laugh. you will cry and you will be shocked by what's on screen. The performances by the two leads will endear them to you forever.

A film like Oasis will make art directors squirm in their seats because it is able to get messages across on so many levels without making audiences go "What the heck"? and yet it is still fresh and original in everyway.

A Korean Movie must see.
