My Mother, the Mermaid. Korean film

4.5 stars

This is a quiet and fabulous film. A young woman, Na-young lives with her loud-mouthed mother who always blames her husband for everything that is wrong in her life. He in turn, is quiet and resigned, until one day he takes off. Na-young goes looking for her dad at an island village where he grew up, and that is where the magic begins... As she stops a stranger to ask for directions, she is transformed to a time, maybe 20-25 years earlier. And the stranger who answers her question, is her dad in the past. She become a witness to the life her parents lived when they first met, when they were so much in love with each other. There is no skin showing (except in diving scenes, as the young mother works as a diver, hence the name of the movie), no sex, not even a kiss... and yet, you could feel so deeply that young love, in how they look at each other, what they do for each other, how they are being together. We are transformed, quietly, by magic, to a world past and a story so sweet, filled with innocence, love, caring, when life seemed simpler in a small Korean island village. If only that middle aged bitter woman, could remember how she felt the first time when that young man offered her a ride on his bike... How she went out of her way to just have a glance at him... maybe she can then, find a way out of the bitterness and into gratitude... And how did the charming self-assured young man transformed into this spineless middle aged man? When they were young, the had nothing, and yet they felt on top of the world... How did they allow life to so defeat them? Can they find their way back? Can their daughter, who is the witness to both worlds, take the lessons into her own life? It is a simple and sweet love story, made strong by powerful performances. Jeon Do-hyun plays a dual role of both the young woman as well as the mother in her youth. Ko Doo-sim is simply wonderful as the middle aged mom, and Park Hae-il is dashing and handsome as the young father. Beautiful cinematography by Choe Yeong-taek and powerfully directed by Park Heung-shik. This is not the first film (Korean or otherwise) that moves in and out of different time zones.. But it takes a Master to create such a gem!
