Josée

Overall it was a good 7.5 movie. The storyline is a bit discontinuous, but the peculiarities in the characters are reserved. All in all, good vibes.

This movie invites the audience to an active interpretation - not only of the emotions and intentions of the characters, but also of the actual plot. Is the depicted event "real"? Is it her imagination? Is is his imagination? It also leaves you asking, what is more important: being free or being loved? Is it possible to have a relationship that is free from a power struggle? Why does the main character identify with that particular novel character, Josée? The impact of this movie is so strong because of great acting, matching music and beautiful cinematography. I recommend it to people who enjoy some food for thought.

Not sure why this movie didn't receive high ratings! This is a brilliant movie! Nam Joo Hyuk, I have no words to describe him and his acting. He is a actor "par excellence". His eyes conveyed love, happiness, hurt and guilt!

I couldn't hold my tears when it over. The most important thing has come in her life, and Josee didn't regret had let love free. She has the power to make her recollections just reality and live in. The story so deeply touched me. In its homeland, the movie had a great success because of the top professionals who created it.

A really beautiful but heartbreaking movie with two lead actors who have clearly put their everything into portraying their characters. Some may think that its mundane but I think that's what makes it so real. It is not dramatised at all which made it so human and beaitiful, it really felt like we were watching the hardest, happiest and purest moments in their life together. I cannot praise Nam Joohyuk and Han Jimin enough.

Suberb cinematography, sound design and acting!! All the twists and metaphors made me reflect for days. It may look dark and slow but the details subject for your own interpretation were actually overwhelming so I was not bored.

I have so much to say abt the josée film but to give a brief, josée is a well collected film, it started in a slow pace romance but that's what makes it feel so real, you'll feel like you're watching the real life story of josée and youngseok- the two characters in the film, as both delivers such a phenomenal performance in portraying subtle emotions, and detailed acting. Its gorgeous cinematography evokes the mood a scene aims to delineate as well as its music. Han Jimin and Nam joohyuk's strong perfomances leave such lingering impressions as they gave a committed and fully immersed portrayal in their characters as josée and youngseok- both incredibly expressed the romantic relationship blossoming between ppl who lives differently, the contrasting perspectives and unlikely romance built up as josée grew up immersing herself into her own made-up lil world and fascinating imaginations through books while youngseok came forth genuinely trying to understand her lil world of fantasy.... it's devastating to know that it ended in an abrupt note, leaving me wondering what had actually happened that brought them to part ways but perhaps, it's not meant to trigger the whys but an answer to the what ifs- offering a comfort nonetheless as their love is pure and no one can take away that, it's just the art of being independent and finally moving on that reigns.

This was really worth watching. The sound, editing, directing were all spot on. This was an adaptation of a short story and its a 2hr film so I'm not surprised with how slow the pace of the story is. I thought I'd fall asleep in the middle of it but I was mesmerized by both Jimin and Joohyuk, excellent actors. About the story, yes its not your typical happy ending romantic film. In fact, its so realistic and it makes more sense that it ended that way. I understood that they will still love each other even when apart. Thumbs up!
