完美的他人, 完璧な他人
Human nature is like an eclipse.
You can hide it but it'll get revealed.
헐...
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
The trailer literally fooled me into thinking that this is a heartwarming comedy film among friends and partners.
I won't get into specifics, but the acting of Yoo Hae-Jin and Yum Jung-ah are top notch.
Now, I realized how Hae-Jin mentioned on Happy Together (A Korean Talk Show) that this is indeed like a horror film.
Intimate Strangers is the Korean adaptation of the Italian movie called Perfect Strangers (2016) by Paolo Genovese.
This movie was remade in many countries including Spain, Mexico, South Korea, France, Hungary, China and Russia. (Retrieved from Wiki)
Honestly, I…
Wäre dieser Film nicht eines der unzähligen Remakes des italienischen Originals (das ich nicht gesehen habe), wäre ich vielleicht noch einen halben Stern hochgegangen, denn eigentlich ist das hier Unterhaltung pur. Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass der Film eine seichte Komödie ist, aber nix da. Bei Intimate Strangers geht's richtig zur Sache und zwar so, dass ich irgendwann mit offenem Mund dasaß...
Ich weiß halt nicht, wie sehr sich die ganzen Remakes jeweils vom Original unterscheiden, weshalb ich den Film prinzipiell nicht mit 4 Sternen bewerten kann, da ich schon Wert auf Kreativität und Originalität lege. Ich mag Remakes so gut wie nie und erst recht nicht dann, wenn sie (wie in diesem Fall) am Fließband produziert werden. Ich weiß…
It didn't take much time to convert a comedy film into dark side of the characters. Ripped from Italian film 'Perfect Strangers', this one actually doesn't disappoint a bit. Unexpected twists, batched breath every time the phone chimes. Truly engaging.
I already knew what was going to happen because I had already seen the original one from which this one is inspired (Perfetti sconosciuti by the italian director Paolo Genovese).
I'm italian and I really liked the original italian one, but let me just say this: koreans always do movies better.
I don’t think there’s a film that illustrates more clearly exactly what is wrong with the straights.
I loved it (of course, except the ending). Felt so much secondhand embarrassment. The father-daughter part is really sweet. Father-daughter situations like that always gets me.
And I'm just imagining myself also being in a similar situation but no one texts or calls me so I'll just be there eating delicious food and watching everyone's life fall apart.
Even if it’s not groundbreaking or whatever this is the kind of movie that’s fascinating to me just because of its premise- there was a lot of cringe humour like I expected, but also a storyline that surprised me considering how conservative South Korea still is
The characters aren’t exactly likeable, especially the husbands, but it’s still intriguing to see where the story goes next thanks to great performances (especially Yum Jung-ah)
This movie has one of the best comedy scenes in any Korean movies imo
Also the ending was unexpected
Cool
I am speechless after I finish watching Intimate Stranger (2018). This movie make me think about a lot of things. And I get it why the title is Intimate Stranger. I guess that's because even though we have an intimate relations with someone for so long, it doesn't mean that we completely know all about that particular person. Actually we are just a stranger, hiding a lot of secrets.
People live three lives...
A public life,
a private life,
and a secret life.
loved that it was centred around a great feast so that food became a motif for a change in topic, mood, focus (on couple). pretty great pacing in the conversations until the last 10 minutes or so - what a sham for an ending. i keep writing about bad endings today. i'll leave at 3 stars today, might change my mind sometime in the future.
for me i think this movie is an eye opener for everyone it’s pretty scary for me cuz it’s about the truth that we are all tryna hide from ther people but still i really recommend it if y’all looking for something and every second of the movie is important and entertaining and you literally can't trust anyone not even the people who you think are your closest friends
serem banget... bikin ikutan kesel dan stress mikirin masalah karakternya. padahal emak bapak/keluarga gue jg bukan.
setelah makan malam, dan makan semua makanan penuh rebusan dan gorengan yang asem sama pedes, orang-orang selalu milih makanan manis sebagai penutup. yum,, tiramisu
