When I accidentally found out that my grandmother had two names, Oksoon and Chunja, I was fascinated by the countless stories she told me. The distant and the not-so-distant stories, were sometimes trivial, sometimes overwhelming. During the filming, meeting Chunja, whom I had not known, and Oksoon, my maternal grandmother, repeated. I recorded the daily labor of Oksoon, who had lived as a woman and an ordinary citizen through the Japanese colonial days.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Excellent but underrated film
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
