A common drama without nothing remarkable, 21 May 2007
5/10
Author: Josu from Basque Country

So-jung is a young photographer who dreams of finishing her education in the United States of America. But one day is diagnosed with tubular vision disease, which will make her to lose her eyesight little by little. In this new situation, she decides to pursue a new goal and leaves all she had behind, including her boyfriend Ji-seok. Now she only desires to get the flying license so she can have a "wide vision" of the world.

Firstly i have to say that this movie is extremely slow-paced, in fact, it can be comparable in this way with the cinema of Shunji Iwai or Kim Ki-Duk (sadly Kyung-hee Park isn't as talented as Iwai or Kim), so if you don't like this kind of film you better avoid this. The main problem of the movie is that almost half of the film (all the stuff about So-jung friend's family)has nothing to do with the story, so the movie could have perfectly lasted just for an hour and this would have made "Miso" a better movie. Another problem is the lack of a score or music during all the movie (maybe there are just a few seconds of score) which sometimes gives the feeling of emptiness or that something is missing.

On the other hand, the acting is solid and the movie has a nice cinematography.
