As you could see in the moblog, I was at the Cinema Korea 2003 festival yesterday to see the film WET DREAMS. I even got a press pass, which was a nice touch. Arriving at Sogetsu Hall (5 minute walk from Aoyama 1-Chome station on the Ginza line), it was nice to see a big crowd for this kind of festival. The crowd did seem to be older than what I usually see at movie events, so I suspect there were a fair amount of Japanese-Koreans in attendance. Before entering the screening room, you could browse all sorts of Korean related goods, like magazines, CDs and DVDs. They were also giving out some free Korean instant ramen! Entering the theatre, the place quickly filled up to show a sold out house. You can still chance a screening today (see my previous post for times and movies), but get there early as there are probably not many seats left, if any at all.

As for the movie, WET DREAMS, it was a blast. Imagine a comedy like AMERICAN PIE, but without the American hangups on sex, and much funnier. The film follows a group of young boys all looking to discover sex (or rooting, as they call it), and the ways they try to get it are all hilarious. I’d never heard of this film before, and am definitely glad I chose it. I don’t know what the availability of it is in other countries, but you can always get the Korean DVD from the excellent online shop Yeon DVD. You can also find out more about the state of Korean cinema at The Korean Film Page. There’s also a look at 2002 in Korean cinema at the Cinespot site.

  2. For Korean DVDs I’d like to recommend AsianDB, a mail order Web store located in Seoul.
    I ordered a E-Pak-Sa CD from there before and their service was quick. I think they have a rather large selection in stock.

    Note that most Korean DVDs are region 3.

  3. A Korean moive without hangups about sex? I didn’t no such a thing existed. Especially in a place with 50% don’t have sex until they are married, where holding hands in public is considered a unwelcome public display of affection and top wedding night worries are things like “will I know what to do since it’s my first time?”, “Should I leave my makeup on because he’s never seen me without it?” etc.

  4. I don’t dispute what you say about their customs, but this movie was quite open about the way it dealt with sex. Scenes with the all the boys masturbating together (individually I mean) and such.

  5. Wet Dream was great. Saw it a while back on pirate dvd in China. I love how there are so many words in Korean that rhyme with “pussy”. Just dont have that in English. Seems none of the vagina slang has rhymes. Cunt, runt, punt…. but that it. Also the last seen with the dude at the girls school cracked me up. That guy must be a pop singer.

  6. Yeah, that last scene also killed me, it was great. Like when he grabs the glass of milk, and then the students tell him they prepared it fresh for him… Hahahaha…
