La Belle -Korea

Synopsis
La Belle is a film about waiting. The first establishing shots of the film open with a slow camera movement toward a small desk with a writer's notebook open in the middle. As the camera peers at the pages, the door bell rings, and she returns. We are not told where she has been or why she has left. We are told that she has returned. Ji-Ho does not say much but lets her in, letting her take over his life with her constant appetite for attention and his love. Yet she gives little in return. Oh, she is willing enough to have sex with him, but one can sense the lack of emotional closeness. Ji-Ho is aware of this and it tears him apart yet he cannot resist the closeness of Ji-Huyn's body, and he falls a helpless victim to her alluring charms. He hates himself for being weak, however, on the single occasion that he does voice his torment, he begins regretting it instantaneously. He is more afraid of losing her presence than "sharing" her affections. He contents himself with having her through the day and sometimes night, and so he endures her leaves in silent pain. In one great scene, she has just returned from a tryst with her ex, and cuddles in Ji-Ho's arms. All he can bring himself to do is shout a silent scream. The story is then about the journey toward freedom from his weakness. Maybe he can persuade her to stay if the rival is eliminated? Or maybe this freedom is unattainable while she exists?
