"Christmas in August"
1998
Directed by Hur Jin-Ho

A terminally ill photo shop owner is brought out of his shell by a winsome meter maid, but he refuses to share the truth of his condition. "...a heartbreaking and rigorous anti-romance that in many ways one-ups Wong's In the Mood for Love. Superbly acted, unforgivingly lyrical (the doomed hero's silent response to being awoken by a thunderstorm is a breath-catcher), and blessed with a Davies-like patience for changing light and everyday duties, Hur's pensive little movie is one of the most mature and gracious tearjerkers ever made" (Michael Atkinson, Village Voice). Korean with English subtitles.  97 minutes.
