Published on | Source
In the 'Festival du film asiatique de Deauville, France' closed the curtain on Mar. 13, Korean cinema "This Charming Girl' starring Kim Ji-soo won 'Lotus jury prize' which corresponds to the second prize at this Film Festival.
The judging committee on this Film Festival said cinema 'This Charming Girl' showed deep introspection about a self-portrait of a young woman.
This cinema had received 'New Currents Award' in PIFF (Pusan International Film Festival) last year and last month also, won NETPAC award, the prize for the Best Asian film in the Forum in Berlin.
'This Charming Girl' is Kim Ji-soo's first film debut work and this movie is unfolded with a story for a woman in her late twenties, Jeong-hae to lead a routine, insular life, working in a small neighborhood post office and keeping house by herself.
At this year's Festival du film asiatique de Deauville, Taiwan cinema 'Holiday Dreaming' received 'Golden Lotus Award', the highest prize. The Festival du film asiatique de Deauville is a film festival, which is held every year in Deauville, France to introduce Asia cinemas to Europe.
In cinema 'This Charming Girl', she is kind, neat, and calm, and seems unusually detached and peaceful for a pretty young woman her age in Seoul. It is only through brief flashbacks and Jeong-haes encounters with others that we are provided glimpses into her character.
She is devoted to the memory of her artist mother. Jeong-hae adopts a stray kitten which she nurses back to health. When the kitten finally warms to her, she is again reminded of her mother, her painful hospitalization, subsequent death and her funeral. She has a surprising and rather strained lunch date with a man who tells her he is getting married....
