No Comment (2002)

Three short movies: "Enemies in Four Directions": A bunch of thugs, an assassin who uses a screwdriver as a weapon of choice, a young gigolo and his housewife "customer," and other motley crew of guests converge in a hotel, creating havoc for one another through a series of misunderstandings and identity confusions. "My Nike": is a modest, gentle, but savvy evocation of urban lower-middle-class family life in 1980s Korea. The chapter is told from the point of view of a 14-year-old junior-high student whose greatest desire in the world is to own a pair of Nike sneakers. "The Church Sister": stars Kim Il-yong as a young soldier on a vacation leave. He is secretly in love with the friendly, beautiful "big sister" from Sunday school whom he has known since childhood. They go see a movie, eat lunch together, walk around the neighborhood aimlessly, waiting for the train to carry him off to the barracks. Will he confess his true feelings to her in time?
