This is one of my favorite kinds of baseball movies—not about the game itself, but about the people on the sidelines. In a sport without a clock, they banter, complain about life, and wrestle with the meaning of the game. And the film’s handling of time is beautifully crafted—only true baseball fans could make such a literary touch work.

Green Fish 1997
If Scorsese’s films explore how promises are broken in the U.S., then Lee Chang-dong’s stories are about promises that never existed in Korea—except, perhaps, in nostalgia. In that light, drifting between despair and aimless fun might seem like the best way forward. I love how raw the storytelling is and how authentic the characters are.
