Storyline
Did you know
- Alternate versionsSimilar to Oldboy (2003), the initial South Korean release of the film saw extensive cuts in the explicit scenes which were either replaced with alternate footage or trimmed slightly. The runtime remained the same. These cuts were later waived in re-releases and the film was released fully uncensored on Blu-ray/DVD.
- ConnectionsReferences Casablanca (1942)
Featured review
You will be bored senseless...
Right, well the concept idea behind the 2003 South Korean drama "Baramnan Gajok" (aka "A Good Lawyer's Wife") from writer and director Im Sang-soo sounded interesting. And thus, I sat down to watch the movie here in 2023, as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance.
But what seemed interesting in the synopsis was a snooze-fest of epic proportions. It was a sluggish narrative that offered nothing interesting to the audience. And running at 104 minutes, it is a massive struggle to sit through "Baramnan Gajok".
The character gallery was mundane and you don't care one bit about any of the character on the screen as they prance through the irrelevant narrative. I am sure that the actors and actresses on the cast list were talented, but they virtually had nothing to work with here.
"Baramnan Gajok" was a swing and a miss, and it is not something I would recommend for fans of the South Korean cinema to sit down and watch. Some of us suffered through this, literally, so you don't have to.
My rating of "Baramnan Gajok" lands on a two out of ten stars.
