So this guy, Tae-suk is a kind of squatter. He breaks into people's homes while they are away, and lives in them, traveling from house to house. But, he's not like the squatters here that trash the place and poop everywhere. Squatters here are a big problem, usually requiring police intervention to remove. Tae-suk repays the house owner's "hospitality" by doing repairs and cleaning around each house.
One day he meets a lonely housewife and they "visit" various homes together. Even though they are together, they don't really speak at all. Some people may find their silent company endearing, but others may find it frustrating! Especially for the police officers that question them. They suspect them in the death of a resident, but it turns out he died of natural causes.
The housewife returns to her home with her husband, but sneaks kisses with Tae-suk under his nose. Ok now she's just cheating. So she wants the security and comfort of a husband, but the romance of a wandering boyfriend. You can't have both. She needs to be honest and choose one man. I will give this film a 7/10.
Interesting English title for the movie, as "Bin jip" is Korean for "Empty House."
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know. I know there is a 3-iron in the movie, but I don't know why they chose it for the title. I thought it was a golf movie when I picked it up.
