Felt like watching my childhood in Hapcheon.
Pure and sad story that may remind some moments of our own childhood. Impressive in its own way.
Slow placed movie with a beautiful story-telling. As the camera continues to move, you get the feeling that you're actually peeking into their real life.
Lovely, quiet, ultra-unsentimental little film consisting primarily of nearly claustrophobic close-ups of two kids cast adrift by their mom. Scenes are interlaced with static, establishing nature shots in the manner of Ozu.
The cast play so natural as if though the filmcrew did not exist. The film is a study when it comes to naturalism and child-acting in general. The way director So Yong Kim and DP Anne Misawa have captured all the details, and at the same time being so invisible is just amazing. I recomend this one.
I usually don't like to write that much, but this one earns my attention. Treeless mountain is one of the best films i saw at the 19th Films From The South Festival in Oslo.
astonishing the way he follows the kids, catches their eye and their little world made by objects, gestures and silences...
