Clearly a little too sentimental, but some wonderful

Clearly a little too sentimental, but some wonderful moments. The phone call scene where the father calls his daughter impersonating a friend of the mother's is wonderfully shot, and the ending is surprisingly low on melodrama, given its content, and compared to the rest of the movie.

In Im Sang-soo's adaptation of Hwang Sok-yong's novel

In Im Sang-soo's adaptation of Hwang Sok-yong's novel The Old Garden, the director's reverent approach to the original material clashes somewhat with his own mainstream pretentions. Im handles the initial melodrama expertly, aided by brilliant character representations by Ji Jin-hee and the criminally underrated Yeom Jung-ah, but as the political backdrop creeps into the foreground, Im gradually loses his grip and becomes tentative, ending it all pretty much out of tune. At it's best however, The Old Garden actually captures some of that serene beauty of Hwang's original text and the way it perfectly manages to marry the revolutions of society and heart.

It looked promising, but then disappointed me as it progressed. In the end it just left emptiness and a feeling of boredom.
