Movies You Can't Miss

'HOME'CINEMAS

Three films in three different languages and from three different countries.

It would be silly to link them based on the word "home" in their titles.
 Still  I would like to do so, considering the fact that they are exceptionally 
good films. 

GETTING HOME

china - 2007

Director YANG ZHANG  
 

-->
“Getting Home” is a quintessential road movie set within the rural backdrop of China. Directed by Yang Zhang (Spicy Love Soup, Shower, Sunflower), the film tells a simplistic, but heart warming, story centered around a peasant and his dead friend. A gentle black comedy of sorts, the humor level will catch you off guard, while the journey itself lures you into the world of Zhao and Liu Quanyou.

For four years, Zhao and Liu Quanyou worked together in a big city factory. The friends often drank together and talked about life, including their innermost fears. Zhao was afraid of dying alone in the big city and away from his family. His friend, Liu Quanyou, promised that if he did pass away he would take his body back to his hometown.

THE WAY HOME

South Korea - 2002

Director JEONG-HYANG LEE

A youngster learns a valuable lesson about family, friendship, and love in this family drama from South Korea. Sang-woo (Yu Seung-ho) is a seven-year-old boy whose parents are divorced, and whose Mother (Dong Hyo-heui) has decided she needs a break from parenthood for the summer. Mother sends Sang-woo to the country to spend some time with his Grandmother (Kim Eul-bun), who is quite old, in poor health, and cannot speak. Sang-woo doesn't much care for his Grandmother, and prefers to spend his time playing with his hand-held video game rather than have anything to do with her. When the batteries die out in his game machine, Sang-woo heads into town to replace them, but before long, he gets lost with no way to find his way back to Grandmother's house. Eventually, two kids (Min Kyung-hun and Yim Eun-kyung) help Sang-woo find Grandmother's home, and he resigns himself to spending the summer with her. As time goes on, the wall between them begins to collapse, and Sang-woo comes to realize how much his Grandmother really means to him.
